If you’ve got questions about your credentials or entering the process to be ordained or licensed ask for Jenene. She assists the Dept. of Ministry Services and Ordination & Licensing committees. She’s super-organized and works hard to make the process of ordination a pleasant one. She has a head full of knowledge about church finances. If you have a question, just ask. She’s also our office manager and supervises any issues regarding the staff.

Jenene has been married to Kerry for over 35 years (believe us when we say she married young).  They have three grown daughters and one granddaughter, Khloey.  Just ask her about Khloey and watch her face light up.  She enjoys reading, taking baths, playing cards or board games, especially Wingspan. She loves her family and friends fiercely.  She also loves the Florida gulf coast where she can be found listening and watching God speak through the ocean, waves and sand.

Mickey stepped into his call to ministry after an 18-year career in education as a teacher and coach. He loves to witness the transformational power of the Gospel in the lives of individuals. He has a passion for disciple-making and helping to equip pastors, leaders, and the church to not only deepen their walk with Jesus but to become disciple makers that have Kingdom impact in their communities.

Mickey met his wife, Amanda, on a blind date and they have been married for 21 years. In 2020, they were blessed with an addition to their family through the journey of adoption. Noah is almost 3 and one of the greatest joys of their life! They love to travel to new vacation destinations, being out in nature, and spending time with family.

DIRECTOR OF THRIVE

Indiana Ministries has contracted with Carl and Earthen Vessels Ministry to direct Thrive, funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment. Working with pastors at different stages of their careers, this initiative fosters and supports one-on-one mentoring relationships for young and/or new pastors serving in small congregations or new church starts, mid-career pastors in transition to another congregation, and seasoned pastors nearing the end of their careers who are seeking to finish well.

Earthen Vessels Ministry (www.evmonline.org) has a passion to come alongside clergy (including their spouses and families) to be their advocates, to offer resources to strengthen their marriages and families, and to walk with them when they hurt. Carl and his wife Valerie are the Directors of Earthen Vessels Ministry. They have three adult children (Matt, Steve & Sarah), six adorable grandsons and one grandaughter!
