Jeff holds a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Counseling, is a Certified Master Coach with Creative Results Management and an Associate Certified Coach by the International Coaching Foundation.

Jeff and his wife Zibby bring to people a compassionate understanding of the genuine ups and downs of life. Their desire is to see others experience the freedom that comes from living in God’s presence, knowing His grace and walking in simple obedience to Him. To be part of their ministry is to feel that you’ve been with friends rather than “experts”.

Jeff and Zibby have three grown children; Matthew (Heidi), Andrew (Maria) and Jennifer (Aaron). They also enjoy five adorable grandchildren!

Jeff is ordained under the ministry of Messenger Fellowship, based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Jeff is assisted in the leadership of Clear River by four other couples. Together they form the elders of Clear River and are called the Design Team. Along with Jeff and Zibby, they provide direction and pastoral oversight for the church.

Administrative Assistant

Cathy Robinson serves as Clear River’s Administrator. This basically means she leaps tall buildings in a single bound and is faster than a locomotive. When she’s not saving us from whirling out of control, she’s keeping her grand-kids from whirling out of control!  Her husband Andy is retired after 51 years of working in retail. They make their home in Manassas, VA.
