Campus Pastors
Pastor Chris and Jen Endsley are campus pastors for the Rancho Cucamonga Verve Community. They have been married for twenty years and have two children, Jackson and Owen, along with their two beloved dogs Beaux Mamba and Beckham. Pastor Chris has his bachelor’s in theology and a bachelor’s in mass communication with a minor in psychology and marketing. His wife, Jen, has an associate’s degree in social science.
Pastor Chris and Jen have over twenty years of pastoral experience in which they were partners in contributing to the start-up of Story Church in Bothell, Washington, for nine years. During this time, they knew deep down inside that God was preparing them for something more and put “transition” on their hearts, so once they said yes to God, they became overwhelmed with peace. While they said yes to God’s plan for their lives, they did not have a location but just knew they needed to trust him. On God’s timing, Pastor Donnie and Pastor Sonya asked them to be a part of the vision God had for Verve Community, and knowing this was God’s plan for them, they eagerly accepted the position as Campus Pastors for Verve Community in Rancho Cucamonga. Knowing their hearts and growing with them over a ten-year friendship, Pastor Chris and Jen Endsley are wholly aligned with the vision for Verve Community.
They share the passion for the future of having a Verve Community in every city in the Inland Empire where they can reach people and offer hope. The mission of Pastor Chris and Pastor Jen for Verve Community is to witness families live an abundant life and empower and equip men and women to push for progress where they can all grow together and take the next steps. The future vision that Pastor Chris and Jen have for Verve Community is to see the harvest that Pastor Donnie and Sonya have sowed over the past 12 years to witness the verve expression that meets the specific needs of that community. “We are 100% aligned with their vision, for we know what it is, what it’s going to cost, the sacrifice it’s going to entail, and our answer is a resounding yes to do this together.”
