our leadership

Jake Rosen was born in France, but has lived in and around St. Louis since infancy. His family were refugees after WWII. Both of his parents were Holocaust survivors. He became a Bar Mitzvah in a small synagogue in University City. Soon after attending Art Students League of New York, he came back to St. Louis and made the decision to believe in Jesus as his Messiah.
 

He and his wife, Jeanne, have been devoted to sharing the message of Yeshua and building the Messianic community in and around St. Louis. They both earned Masters degrees in Inter Cultural Studies with a concentration in Judaica from Fuller Theological Seminary, CA. Jake also holds a BFA in Painting from Washington University School of Art and had two showings of his painting series "The Vision of Isaiah" at Missouri Baptist University, in St. Louis, and at Chosen People Ministries, in New York City in 2013-2014.
 

Jake is presently one of the pastors of Clayton Community Church (since 1991) and has been guiding Beit Chesed Messianic Congregation (since 2010).
