Jen Tebedo

Youth Minister

Serving with us for almost 7 years now, Jen has a heart for teens in our community as well as discipleship ministry. She started her journey with us as the administrative assistant, back in 2018, and learned through volunteering with the youth program that God was calling her into Youth Ministry. In 2019 she pursued that avenue through Youth for Christ, and served with them for 6 years while still volunteering with Colwood Students. When the opportunity arrived for her to jump back on staff at Colwood as the full-time Youth Ministry Director, she couldn’t ignore God’s call back here. She and her husband Andrew Tebedo are passionate to serve here, have been married for 9 years and now have 2 beautiful daughters, Emberlyn & Esme. If Jen isn't doing some event with the youth, you can often find her listening to Disney music in her office! She likes to keeps us on our toes around here!
