Dr. Jeremy & Jen DeWeerdt
Meet Your Senior Pastors
Jeremy and Jen DeWeerdt have called City First Church home for most of their lives. Jeremy began his journey leading student ministries and later founded what is now City First Leadership College, while Jen has been by his side, shaping vision, community, and family life at the church. Together, they have poured their hearts into helping people encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and step into their God-given callings.
Married since 1995, Jeremy and Jen are proud parents of three sons—Caden, Connor, and Paxton. Caden and his wife, Dakota, are the proud parents of Jeremy and Jen’s first grandchild, a daughter named Willow, who has brought tremendous joy to their family.
Jeremy holds an M.A. in Ministerial Leadership from Southeastern University and a DMin in Semiotics, Church, and Culture from Portland Seminary at George Fox University. Jen also holds an M.A. in Ministerial Leadership and is the founder of the Original Women’s Conference, where thousands of women have discovered purpose and direction in their lives.
Through more than 19 years of leadership, they’ve seen lives transformed at City First and beyond. When they’re not leading the church, Jeremy and Jen enjoy family time, cheering for their favorite Chicago sports teams, and investing in the Rockford community.
