Dr. Jessica LaGrone to Teach at Annual Conference 2025

We are very excited to have Dr. Jessica LaGrone, the Dean of Chapel at Asbury Theological Seminary, to speak at annual conference 2025 July 10th-12th at Epworth by the Sea on St. Simons Island, GA.

Jessica is an acclaimed pastor, teacher, speaker, and writer whose engaging communication style endears her to groups throughout the United States.

Teddy Ray once described her style as, "the gentlest 'power-preacher' I’ve ever heard because of the warmth and presence in her delivery."

A native of Texas, Jessica is an ordained pastor in the Eastern Texas Conference of the Global Methodist Church and previously served for nine years at The Woodlands Methodist Church near Houston, Texas.

Jessica’s books and studies include Namesake: When God Rewrites Your Story, Under Wraps, and Broken and Blessed: How God Used One Imperfect Family to Change the World, and Set Apart: Holy Habits of Prophets and Kings have been used in personal and group studies around the world. Her book, also called Broken and Blessed, was released by Abingdon in Fall 2014.

Jessica and her husband, Jim, have two young children, Drew and Kate.
