Jake Schwein

Pastor of Worship & Justice

How long have you been a part of Grace Chapel?
My journey started on September 1, 2001

What you love about your job?
Seeing Jesus Christ grab ahold of people as they worship and begin to change every part of them to be more like Him.

Watching the community of Grace Chapel grasp the just heart of God and then doing something about the injustices around them

I get to work with the best staff!!

What’s your favorite movie?
I like movies…every kind of movie, but horror. I go to movies to be entertained not to be critical….I like to laugh…I like Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (Did I just say that…)

Favorite place you’ve traveled?
If I could make money to travel internationally I would. East Africa (Rwanda especially) has to be a favorite as well as Oaxaca de Juárez and Haiti

What’s your family life like?
Life at the Schwein home is an adventure. There is not a dull day. My wife Carol and I were married in July, 2005. She is amazing and keeps us sane. We have a “spicy” little girl named Jaelyn (2010), a “compassionate” 5yr old boy named Josiah (2008) and a “fun-loving” 14yr girl named Josiane (1997).

Education
BS Bible and Youth Ministry, Multnomah University
MA Pastoral Studies, Multnomah University

Yet I would not be who I am without significant mentors in my life. They have taught me more than any formal education ever could.
