Jessie Klassen - Worship Leader
Jessie is a Seminole native who moved to Oklahoma to study at Rhema Bible Training Center School of Worship. He has always had a passion for worship. As a young boy, he would clunk out the melodies to old church hymns on the family piano. Music has always played a major part in his life.
He has served in a worship capacity for 10 years and has a heart to see the body of Christ worship the Father in Spirit and truth. He believes one moment with our heavenly Father is enough to change a life indefinitely, and looks to be a conduit for that to happen.
