Jared Kliewer Founder/ Caregiver
I have worked in ministry for 20 years. Most recently, I served as the Co-Lead Pastor of Providence Church in Omaha, NE for 7 years. Through many different roles (Youth Leader, Worship Leader, College Pastor, Church Planter), my passion has remained the same - to meet people where they are and discover how the deep love of Jesus meets them in that exact place.
I am a long-time Nebraskan. I have lived here my whole life (except for 14 months in Austin, TX to chase down my wife, Kerri!). I have four kids - Nash, Liv, Wells, and Emi - all in elementary school. Since hobbies are elusive for a dad of four young ones, I consider my pastimes to be hitting up local coffee spots and finding great restaurants for date nights with Kerri - preferably ones that serve tacos or sushi.
The journey to caring for pastors was one birthed out of my own pain and passion. In 2022, I began to pursue healing from anxiety and depression through an approach called Formational Care. Experiencing breakthrough after breakthrough, I realized that my healing journey was not leading me back to my expected Co-Lead Pastor role, but instead to receive training to give away Formational Care to other weary pastors. After a year-long certificate program through Healing Care Ministries, it’s a joy to give my life to seeing weary pastors find hope and healing through Jesus.
