In 2006 Jeff accepted a position of Youth Pastor and Music Director at a church in Ohio, where he served faithfully for nearly a decade, equipping and challenging the students and congregation to reach their world with the GOSPEL. Jeff and Jodi now focus full-time on the Jeff Polen Music ministry, a ministry dedicated to pointing others to Jesus Christ through music, preaching, teaching, and training. Jeff and Jodi have five wonderful children: Taylor, Abigail, Piper, Elijah, and Eden.
