Hi everyone, my name is Jake Webster and I have the privilege of being your pastor at College Place Methodist Church beginning on June 29. I have been in full time ministry my entire working life beginning in youth ministry out of college and transitioning to pastoral ministry 10 years ago. I was born and raised in Tifton, Georgia, and then moved to the Atlanta area in high school. I went to the University of Georgia for college and I root for my Dawgs in everything! I enjoy watching and playing sports, although age is starting to catch up with me (Haha). My big hobby right now is pickleball. I have been playing for about a year now, and it is a lot of fun and a great way for me to try and get in shape. I am looking forward to living on the coast because my family and I love the beach.

 

My wife Kathryn wanted to say hi as well… “My name is Kathryn Webster, and I grew up in North Georgia. I am incredibly happy to be married to Pastor Jake. We have known each other since high school and were in fact high school sweethearts. I knew he was "the one" at first sight. I majored in Vocal Performance at the University of Georgia and have had the pleasure of singing in all kinds of different groups from the Atlanta Symphony Chorus to a folk duo that toured in the United States. I thoroughly enjoy worshipping the Lord, creating music, and teaching music lessons. In my free time, I relax by reading, taking walks outside, occasional gardening, cooking/baking, and have been known to crochet when inspiration strikes. Church family is a gift from God. Thank you for praying for us, loving us, and welcoming us. We are thankful to come to College Place as we nestle into Brunswick. Our home. We look forward to spending a lot of time outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine as we create new memories together. We are praying for you. What a joy it will be to meet you all!”

 

Kathryn and I have two kids.  Our 7-year-old daughter’s name is Jennie and our 2-year old son’s name is Jacob. They are so much fun and love to have fun. Jennie loves the arts. She dances in a dance troupe, takes art lessons, and loves to join her mom in singing and playing in church. She is also a great older sister to Jacob. Jacob is a ball of energy who loves to play and cuddle. He loves to throw and kick a ball, and I have the broken picture frames as proof. While he loves to throw and kick, his favorite thing to do is wrestle and his special move is a flying elbow drop from the headboard. They are looking forward to being on the coast because they love the beach too. Jennie loves the ocean waves and Jacob loves to play in the sand.  

 

We are all looking forward to being with you very soon!
