March 2019 Update
We started talking in earnest with the Los Altos Grace Church leadership about a year ago (where I’ve been serving on the pastoral staff for 10 years), but finally announced a transition at the end of 2018. You can listen to my announcement: “We are Pregnant: Los Altos Grace starting a new spiritual family.”
We are going to remain in our home in East Long Beach and seek to gather a new spiritual family in the Greater Long Beach area. We are seeking to be as sensitive as we can to the existing churches…but we know there are tens of thousands of lost people, so the fields are white for harvest in SoCal. We are thankful that Los Altos Grace is supporting and sending us to start a new church!
You can track with our church plant online at LosAltosGrace.org/plant some of our progress on my website at MikeJentes.com.
See below for upcoming events and opportunities that I’ll be engaging with–I hope you’ll be praying!

Back to Rittman for Sunday March 10
Mission Day: Being back in Ohio will afford me the opportunity to be back at 
my home church in Rittman, Ohio. I’m thankful that Pastor Bud and the church family has asked me to share with the congregation at 9:30am for the Sunday School hour and also during the 10:30 Worship Service. If you are in NE Ohio I’d love to see you at Rittman Grace for Mission Day.
