Jared Falkanger

Director

M.A. Christian Formation and Ministry, Wheaton College 2019

As the Director for Ministry and Evangelism, Jared encourages students to take their faith and learning in the classroom away from campus in service and ministry in both local and global contexts. As a student at Wheaton, Jared volunteered through the programs of the office and participated on a spring break service trip. Through these experiences, as well as his leadership roles on Orientation Committee and Student Government, he developed a passion for the intersection of ministry, student development, and Christian formation. Jared has spent his years teaching, volunteering, and developing relationships with parachurch organizations in Chicagoland. Jared loves his work with students as he supports, trains and develops leaders involved in Ministry and Evangelism programming. He especially loves the way that service forms identity and contributes to a deepening relationship with God. Jared attends Church of the Resurrection and volunteers in the youth group. He is married to Meaghan (’13) and is dad to two incredible little boys! He loves participating in cross-cultural activities, especially related to food and fellowship. His Minnesotan identity and accent are especially noticeable when he engages in conversation about his favorite Minnesota sports teams.

Jaella Lowe

Programs Assistant

B. Mus., Moody Bible Institute 2014

Jaella, although originally from Colorado, feels at home in Wheaton. She graduated from Moody Bible Institute with a Bachelor of Music in Music and Worship with an emphasis in Classical Guitar performance in May of 2014. She thought she would be performing, but the Lord's plan was slightly different. After marrying her husband Chad in 2014, she served alongside her husband in pastoral ministry for 7 years before the Lord brought them to Wheaton. While serving in pastoral leadership in their church, Jaella became increasingly aware of the need for everyday discipleship for students. She and Chad, along with their two young children live in one of the dorm buildings on campus where they interact with and live life with students. They value discipleship, personal connections, community building, and lasting friendships. Jaella loves outdoor activities, playing with her kids, sports and art.
