The Effort's Important, But Trusting God is Everything: Rob Jankowski, Lead Minister at New Hope Christian Church in Whitestown, IN

Rob was born and raised in South Florida, experiencing a tumultuous childhood after his father was killed in an armed robbery when he was four. Raised by a single mother and later supported by an uncle, Rob struggled with anger until a friend introduced him to a youth group. There, he connected with Youth Minister Nate, who helped him draw closer to Jesus. After his baptism, Rob enrolled in Bible College, later transferring to Florida Christian College, where he met his wife, Sarah. Rob and Sarah served in youth ministry together in St. Cloud, Florida, before moving to Lincoln, Illinois, for further education at Lincoln Christian University. In 2009, they answered a call to serve as Youth Minister at New Hope, where Rob now serves as Lead Minister. Rob is also pursuing a doctorate in Church Leadership and Spiritual Formation at Lipscomb University.Connect with us!
