As Millwood’s Lead Regional Chaplain Coordinator, Jody helps oversee the company’s chaplain ministry and leads efforts to implement programs that encourage Team Members to grow personally, professionally and spiritually. His role combines pastoral care, leadership and relationship building, creating opportunities for Millwood Team Members to experience encouragement, support and spiritual renewal in their daily lives and work.

Jody’s journey to Millwood began with a clear calling to ministry in the early 2000s. He has served as a senior pastor since 2010, guiding his congregation with faith and dedication. “God led me to Millwood by His providence,” Jody says. “It’s been an amazing ride and such a privilege to see so many lives touched by the Millwood Cares ministry.” His work with Millwood allows him to extend his ministry beyond the church walls, reaching people where they are and reminding them that faith and work can walk hand in hand.

Of all aspects of Millwood’s culture, it’s the mission statement that resonates most deeply with Jody — that all who come in contact with Millwood would clearly see Christ in all that we do. That guiding purpose fuels his commitment to help every Team Member not only find success in their work but also grow in their walk with Jesus. “My focus is to see Team Members grow in their walk with Jesus and have victory in their lives,” he says.

The values that shape Jody’s leadership are rooted in biblical integrity and the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19-20, which calls believers to share their faith and serve others with love and humility.

Jody has been a minister of Christ for more than twenty years. When he’s not ministering or mentoring others, Jody enjoys being outdoors — hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and camping. For him, every moment outside is another reminder of God’s presence and grace.
