Jeremy Jackson

Born and educated in England, Jeremy Jackson has co-pastored Trinity Fellowship since its foundation in 1978. He is ordained in the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference. His most formal training was at L'Abri, Switzerland, as an assistant to the late Francis Schaeffer for whom he later acted as an editor and historical advisor. Before entering upon pastoral ministry, he taught European history at the College of William and Mary and at Syracuse University, having completed his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of No Other Foundation: The Church across Twenty Centuries. (1980). He and his wife Lucinda are the parents of twelve children.

Stefan Matzal

Stefan graduated from Bucknell University, where he majored in Classics, with an emphasis on Greek language and literature. His interest in Greek was to be superceded by a love for the Hebrew language in seminary. He completed the Master of Divinity and the Master of Theology programs at Baptist Bible Seminary in Clarks Summit, PA. His Th.M. thesis was titled He Turned the Heart of the King: An Exegetical Project in Ezra 4-6. A small portion of the thesis was published as “The Structure of Ezra IV-VI” in the journal Vetus Testamentum, vol. 50:4 (2000). Stefan moved to Syracuse in 1996 with his wife Sarah to take a position as high school Bible teacher and chaplain at Faith Heritage School. Shortly after this move, they began to attend Trinity Fellowship. Stefan was ordained as an elder in Trinity in 2001 and began to serve in that capacity on a full time basis in 2004. Stefan originally hails from New Jersey and Sarah from Rhode Island, but now they and their four children are pleased to call Syracuse their home.

Doug Weeks

Doug has co-pastored with Jeremy since Trinity’s beginning. He is ordained in the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference. He studied one year at Asbury Theological Seminary, has attended many seminars on counseling and has a M.A. from Syracuse University in journalism. The church has sent Doug and his wife, Janeen, to serve in the Philippines, Costa Rica and China for approximately one year in each place. Apart from those overseas ministries, Doug has worked with Laubach Literacy, the Rescue Mission and with a local Christian counseling agency while co-pastoring in Trinity Fellowship. He and Janeen have three children and 13 grandchildren.
