Our History:

The Jeremiah Project was founded in 1997 by three Youth Pastors: Todd Freneaux, the Rev. Abi Foerster, and Barbara Russell.  All felt there was a tremendous need for a Christ-centered mission trip experience designed specifically for middle school students. Selecting Jeremiah 1:7 as the foundational scripture, the Jeremiah Project was born.  


In recent years, JP has embraced ministry to high school students beginning in 2015 with the launch of LEAD Four:Twelve. This leadership development experience has been highly successful in helping students understand Biblical leadership principles and growing into the leaders God desires to advance his kingdom. 


Today, JP offers the following ministry events for both middle & high school students:  


1. JOURNEY Weekend in March, held at Young Life's Rockbridge Camp in Goshen, VA.


2. LAUNCH, a student conference in January, held in Williamsburg, VA.  


3. Summer Mission Camps during the months of June and July. 


Our Mission:

"Transforming lives for Christ through student mission, ministry, and leadership development."

But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a youth,' because everywhere I send you, you shall go, and all that I command you, you shall speak." - Jeremiah 1:7 (NAS)
