Meet the Staff at Grace Presbyterian

Jesse Rutherford - Adminstrative Assistant

Jesse, a native of Winfield, Kansas, embarked on a spiritual journey that led him from church to church, guided by a calling from God. His pursuit of a degree in Secondary Education brought him to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he enrolled at Oklahoma State University. It was here that he not only found academic pursuits but also discovered a sense of belonging at Reformed University Fellowship and developed a deep affection for the welcoming atmosphere of Grace Presbyterian Church.

During his time in Stillwater, Jesse met and formed a lasting connection with his future wife, Jenna Seagraves. Their union has blessed them with three sons, Thomas, Theo and Jason, creating a loving family rooted in faith.

In 2019, Jesse took a significant step in his commitment to the church by becoming an ordained deacon, actively serving the church body. 

The warmth and care that Jesse experienced at Grace Presbyterian Church became integral to his spiritual journey, prompting him to deepen his involvement. In September of 2023, Jesse was appointed as the part-time Administrative Assistant for the church, allowing him to further contribute to the community he holds dear.
