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 Bar Mitzvah in  University City. Jake made the decision to accept Jesus as his Messiah before his time attending the School of Fine arts at Washington University. 

He and his wife, Jeanne, who married in 1982, 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 holds a BFA in Painting and has had many showings of his painting series "The Vision of Isaiah" 

Jake is also one of the pastors of Clayton Community Church (since 1991) and has partnered with Jeanne to lead Beit Chesed Messianic Congregation (since 2010).
