Lead Elder
Jeff Wagner
Meet our pastor:
Jeff Wagner is the pastor of The Gathering in Coulterville. Jeff's family includes his beautiful wife, Leah, his children, Stephen and wife Georgia, David and wife Aubrey, Andrew, and Blayne. With the help of his family, Jeff works to serve God and the people around him.
Jeff grew up in Pinckneyville and received a bachelors degree at Union University in Jackson, TN. He is a partial owner of K&H Construction Inc.
Along with serving the people locally in Southern IL, Jeff also has felt a strong personal call to serve the people in Haiti, building homes, doing medical clinics, and women and children's ministry up until the last couple of years, as gang rule prevents missionaries from going there. God has also recently given him a love for the people of the Dominican Republic where he took a team to build a home for a widow and minister to women in the community. He has had opportunities to minister to Haitian refugees there as well, and is excited to see where God leads him and Leah in that ministry.
Jeff never thought he would find himself pastoring a church, but God had other plans. We are grateful that when God called, Jeff said yes.
While Jeff is a wonderful leader, please know that our ultimate leader and example is always Jesus Christ.
