About

Hi there. My name is Jeremy Geerdes. I am – in order of importance – a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ; husband to my beautiful wife; father of our two children; and pastor of Debra Heights Wesleyan Church in Des Moines, IA. I am passionate about my community, and I enjoy hunting, fishing, building things with my computer, reading, writing, and science fiction (with a particular taste for Star Trek).

I hold a B.A. in Pastoral Ministry from Oklahoma Wesleyan University (2002) and an M.Div. from Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University, with a specialization in church health and revitalization (2019). In addition, I am an ordained minister in The Wesleyan Church, which is a whole lot harder to get than one of those internet ordinations!

In short, there are a lot of things that I do and enjoy, and this blog covers a bunch of it! In case that wasn’t clear enough, unless explicitly noted, the thoughts and comments that I place on this blog are my own and do not represent any of the organizations that I am affiliated with.
