Meet The Pastor
Head Pastor Jared Patterson
I'm Jared, a 6th generation pastor who grew up right here in Irving, TX. My wife, Amanda, hails from Paris, TX, and is a 3rd generation intercessor. Our paths crossed at a Chili's restaurant in Irving, and we've been inseparable since tying the knot in 2002. Together, we've been blessed with three wonderful sons: Josiah, Mathias, and Levi.
I've been a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God, dedicating my life to full-time ministry since 1994. In 2008, Amanda and I took on the role of Senior Pastors at The Bridge Church in Arlington, TX. Then, in January 2017, we embraced the call to return to our roots at Firelife Church, stepping in to lead as Senior Pastors, succeeding my father, Gerald Patterson.
Together, we're part of the "Bethel Leaders' Network," fostering relationships within a vibrant community of revivalists passionate about God and His Kingdom.
