Meet the Staff
Art Jensen Pastor of Group Ministries
How long have you been at Faith Promise?
I was born and raised in San Diego CA. I am married and have four Children; two boys and two girls. Before moving to Tennessee I spent four years in Denver.
When did you come on staff?
I have been on staff at Faith promise since June of ’07.
What’s your favorite hobby?
I love sports. My favorite to watch is pro football. My favorite team is the San Diego Chargers. And my favorite sport to play is surfing; although the surf in Tennessee is not that great, I will keep trying.
What is something unusual about you?
I have a twin brother…
If you could be any animal, what would it be?
If I could be any animal, I would be hmmmm… human. Okay, how about a sheep? That way I could spend all day with the “Shepherd”. Okay, okay… I would be an eagle, I think it would be cool to be able to fly.
Your favorite food, least favorite food, greatest fear, most embarrassing moment, or nickname growing up.
My favorite food is probably steak and potatoes, but I also really like Mexican food, come to think of it, I really like food. My least favorite is shellfish. I am allergic. My most embarrassing moment is now writing this bio… and my nickname growing up… you will have to ask my wife… and she'd better not tell you.
