Jeff Chariker - Worship Pastor
Jeff is the husband of Samantha for 17 years and dad to Caleb and Seth, 10 year old twins. Jeff didn't rebel until he was an adult as it was then that he decided to sport long hair and a small rat on his chin. Jeff has been at Faith Bible since 1999 serving as the worship pastor. He comes from a formal music training background and has freelanced as a professional accompanist before getting a "real" job. He plays the french horn and most brass instruments but his true love is for the cowbell! "I gotta fever baby!!" He holds a Bachelor's degree in Music Education and has been working on his Master's in Theology through Trinity Theological Seminary. He hopes some day to graduate but fears the need to "grow up" when that milestone is reached. Music is his passion and he acknowledges God as the Creator of all good things - yes, even country music! Yee haw! Other than the worship of the sovereign holy God, Jeff doesn't take much seriously.
