Jay Van Groningen

I love the Lord! I am married to Laura, wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. We have 4 children and a growing number of grandchildren.

I was employed by CRWRC (now World Renew) for 26 years. I birthed and was Executive Director of Communities First Association for 9 years.

I have served as Elder and Deacon multiple terms. 

I am passionate about christian community development and neighborhood transformation. I am an Asset Based Community Development trainer and coach by profession.

To join God's redemption story being seems to require a commitment to redemption of people and place.
