Jim Jensen serves as the Executive Director of Shepherd’s Gate Church. Known around SG as “JJ,” he oversees ministry strategy, leads the staff team, and champions big-picture projects that move the church forward. JJ first joined Shepherd’s Gate in 2020 as Worship Director before stepping into his current role in 2023.
Family time is at the center of JJ’s world. He and his wife, Lisa, love summers on Lake Ponemah with their daughters, Julia and Hayley—whether that’s boating, swimming, or just soaking up the sunshine. JJ also enjoys making music, experimenting in the kitchen, getting lost in a good book (or even writing one of his own).
Passionate about helping people live out their faith, JJ is energized to see how God is shaping the future of Shepherd’s Gate and is grateful to walk alongside the staff and congregation as they follow God’s lead.
