Jennifer previously served as the pastor of St. Luke’s United Church of Christ in Jeffersonville, Indiana and Assistant Pastor at the Old South Church in Boston, Massachusetts. She has served as chair of Greater Boston Interfaith Organization , March2Recovery (long-term recovery group from 2012 tornadoes in southern Indiana), and the Association for International Congregations in Europe and the Middle East. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in History and English from James Madison University and a Masters of Divinity from Pacific School of Religion.
Apart from theological matters, Jennifer is always ready to chat about books, baseball, musical theatre, and travel. Although originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia, she loves the Boston Red Sox almost as much as she loves her husband Josh and her son Benjamin.
Jared came to AIC in early 2020. His ministry focuses on the belief that growing and developing in faith continually transforms us as individuals as well as making the world around us a more just and peaceful place. His work extends beyond Sunday morning to spiritually engage with the communities around AIC.
Jared holds a Master of Divinity degree from Brite Divinity School in addition to Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees in religion. He has worked in ministry across cultures and Christian denominations from children to senior adults.
Jared was raised in eastern Colorado, but spent most of his adult life in Texas before moving to London. He is married and lives with his spouse, Hannah, and their standard poodle, Isla. It will not take long before you discover his passions for cooking, baking, and drinking coffee that rival any other love in his life.
Scott is a uniquely broad musician, equally proficient in classical, jazz, and world music. He is a conductor of various choirs and orchestras across London and Europe, a prolific and flexible composer, a singer, and a respected educator. Born in Kendallville, Indiana, he has lived in London since 1982.
As an educator, he has been a professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London since 1983 and was head of their jazz program, renowned as one of the best in Europe from 1984 to 2008. He often combines his roles as conductor, performer, composer, presenter and educator to create unique programs, crossing boundaries between styles and cultures and between performance, composition and improvisation.
