Pastor

Pastor Jeremy Shank

I grew up in the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in my Hometown

of Shelby, Ohio. After high school I followed a friend across town to the

Church of the Nazarene. I began school at Mt. Vernon Nazarene University

in 1993 and took my first and only Nazarene congregation in 1997.

I met my wife in 1999. She was raised United Methodist and so the inevitable

happened. After a few years of praying and contemplating I became a

United Methodist in 2003. After basically starting the processes of

becoming a pastor all over again, I finally got my Local Pastors License

in June of 2006. I began the Course of Study for Local Pastors in Jan 2007 and
graduated from the COS in the fall of 2014.
In July 2012 I was given an amazing opportunity to come to Thornville.

I have entered into my tenth year with the Thornville church.

I have a wonderful wife, Melissa, and 2 great kids, Gabriella and Caleb.

I have two of the best in-laws (outlaws) you could ask for.
