Meet our Children’s Coordinator: Jeff & Erica Nease
Jeff started following Christ at the age of 13. He went through an automobile accident around this time in his life, by the Grace of God that accident ended up being a wonderful blessing. Erica was led to salvation when she was 11 years old, growing up in the church from before she was able to walk. Jeff and Erica both went on to pursue careers in education, although in separate states as she was born and raised in Oklahoma and Jeff in Ohio. God brought them together in Oklahoma where Jeff came to teach at the same school as Erica, this ultimately led them to love and marriage. Jeff and Erica have a passion for children and are leading four of their own in the ways of the Lord. That passion continues to grow and shine in the Children’s Ministry at Jenks Bible Church. In their free time they enjoy America’s favorite pastime, baseball as well as traveling with their family.
JBC Children’s Ministry is dedicated to excellence in everything we do for all our young children. We take your trust seriously and, as such, all of our JBC ministry volunteers are put through local, state and federal screening procedures before they work with our children.
Our Vision
JBC's Children’s ministry strives to engage children with the life-transforming power of Christ through the written word, to equip them to live as children created in the image of God, and to employ them to serve their Creator and others.
Our Classes (10am-11:20am)
Our classes use The Gospel Project to assist our children in growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Parent Dedications
God has given you a precious gift! (Psalm 127:3) To celebrate and come alongside you, we conduct four Parent/Child dedications each year. If you wish to participate in a Parent/Child Dedication, we ask that you fill out the following form by clicking HERE and reach out to our children's ministry coordinators (Jeff and Erica Nease), Pastor Ben, or Pastor Matt to begin the process.
The purpose of Parent/Child dedications is for parents to present their child before God and the church, committing to seek after His grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. It's also a time for you, as parents, to commit to model what following Jesus looks like and to raise your children to understand that they are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, to believe that the Bible is absolute Truth, and to know the importance of committing to a community of faith through the local church.
During the scheduled Worship Service, you will have the opportunity, along with other families, to stand before the church, and celebrate the gift of your child!
