Ministry Team
Don Jagers
Lead Pastor & Youth - pastordon@lifepointdeland.com Pastor Don is a graduate of Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He and his wife Josie both grew up in NJ, have been married for 16 years and have 4 beautiful children: Zach, Isabelle, Elias and Adeline. Don and Josie have been involved in ministry for the past 16 years, and have served in Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, College and Career, Young Adults, and as Associate Pastors. Their passion and desire is to know Christ and grow in that relationship and they want to communicate that relationship in a simple, clear way so that the youngest to the oldest can understand what it means to be a fully committed follower of Christ. As the apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:12, they want to "press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own." When not doing ministry, they love to spend time with their kids in whatever sport or activity they happen to be involved with and spend time at the beach - which makes living in Florida extra special!
