Jenna has been serving in our worship ministries since 2021. She first began serving as a vocalist, but soon the secret was out that she had taught herself to play the guitar. In time, Jenna began to lead songs and sing harmonies too. Now, Jenna oversees the AnchorageYouth Worship team and the team that leads at the Sunday 9:30am Contemporary Ocean Room service. She loves to identify giftedness in others and help get them plugged in serving where they can all use their gifts to honor the name of Jesus through music.
