Youth Pastor

Who Is This?

Hi.  I am Jeremy Zach, the guy that started REYouthPastor.com.  It is nice to meet you.  I was a former aspiring fighter pilot (F-16 to be exact) and surrendered to Christ in 2002 to follow my call as a youth pjzheadshot1astor.  I hold a communications degree from University of MN-Twin Cities and a Master’s of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary. I am the youth pastor at Church by the Sea in Laguna Beach, California. I am married to a cool gal–Mikaela.  I enjoy faux hawks (my personal brand), working out (bench 175lbs), social media, wordpress, reading, & cats (I have two little calico cats).  I am very determined to find youth ministry methods that minister to a teenager generation that hates church & Jesus (I really like talking to students who start swearing at me when I tell them about Jesus).  Needless to say I am passionate, extremist, and enjoy what I do.  I have never done drugs and drank alcohol once or twice.
