Pastor Jeff Ruggles
Pastor Jeff was born and raised in Michigan, but his journey extends far beyond there. With over 15 years of pastoral experience in the Dakotas, shaping his unwavering faith and commitment to the community, pastor Jeff has begun a new journey in Indiana to pastor Forest Hills.
Alongside his high school sweetheart and wife, Kate, Pastor Jeff has crafted a life filled with love, faith and family. Together they have two middle-school aged daughters, two dogs and a cat.
When pastor Jeff is not tending to his congregation, you can find him and his family exploring new places and hitting the bike trails together.
Pastor Jeff remains dedicated to his unwavering faith, his family, and a steadfast love and commitment to his congregation.
