Jeremy felt called to do ministry in Scotland while finishing up his undergrad degree at Johnson University in 2009. For one reason or another, God has taken Jeremy to other places in ministry. But the calling to Scotland never went away and God eventually opened the door for them to move and minister there in 2024.
They moved to Edinburgh, Scotland with an open heart to search for God's purpose for them in the country. This journey led them to Community Church Edinburgh very early on and they quickly fell in love with the church and the city of Edinburgh. A month later, there was an opportunity for Jeremy to get involved with the student and young adult ministry within the church. Jeremy stepped in as a part of the team initially and then was asked to take over as the coordinator of the team in 2025. Jeremy has experience in university ministry and has a heart for helping to lead students towards a strong relationship with Christ.
Erin has worked in elementary schools in the US for 14 years. She fell in love with Scotland through her relationship with Jeremy and their vacations to the country. Erin's ministry focus has always been on her fellow teachers and students at each of her schools. The plan was for her to get a job at a primary school in Edinburgh, but this has proven to be more difficult than expected. While she continues to search for a teaching position, she has been working with 0-2 year-olds at a nursery. It is not what she envisioned, but God is still using her to love on her co-workers and the children at the nursery.
