What pastors are saying
“It is my joy to commend Father Jason and Mother Myra Hess, a faithful clergy couple whom I have known and ministered with since 2018. I have invited them to preach and teach at the church I pastor and have served alongside them in an ecumenical community project. Together they exemplify a shared vocation marked by theological depth, pastoral wisdom, and genuine charity. Having endured trials with grace, their marriage and ministry stand as a living witness to steadfast faith and mutual devotion to Christ and His Church.”
The Rt Revd Patrick O. BillupsSenior Pastor, Relevant Life Church“We recently had Father Jason and Mother Myra as guest speakers. This amazing husband and wife team are ‘working together for God.’ They gave a ‘duo’ sermon on the text from Mark 1:29-39. Wonderful message from the hearts of God’s servants.”
Father John EvartsRetired Pastor, Hilltop Fellowship Church“The Revd Fr Jason A. Hess recently preached at our church for two very different styles of worship. Father Hess was greatly received by the congregation and his message on radical love was powerful and encouraged/challenged us to grow deeper in our faith by embracing inclusion as the starting place for loving God and neighbor.”
