Rev. Jeff Knol
I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I was raised in the Christian Reformed Church. I attended Calvin College, where I discovered a passion for Biblical and theological studies, which led me to seminary and ultimately to ordination in 2013. Since then, I have served several churches in Central New Jersey. I have found that I love teaching from Scripture and leading worship. It is a joy and honor to walk alongside people as they explore their faith, ask big questions, and deepen their connection with God.
I am passionate about cultivating a church that reflects the wideness of God’s welcome and love. I affirm the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in the life of the church and believe that their presence and gifts are essential for our life together as the body of Christ. I am honored to have a role in helping historic congregations listen for the Spirit’s leading in a rapidly changing world as we work together to discover new ways to embody God’s hospitality, justice, and hope. I believe the church can be a place of deep healing and joyful belonging for all who seek it.
I am blessed to share life with my wife, Jamie, and our two wonderful children. We have a dog and two cats who bring joy and fun into our lives. I love experimenting with visual arts, including photography and I dabble in raising bonsai trees. In my free time I love being outside, taking hikes, walking along streams and canals, and otherwise enjoying God’s creation.
Events
Mark your calendars for these great events coming up.
Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase;
So your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
- Proverbs 3:9,10
