the Murphy family

Bro. Jared came to Heritage Baptist Church in October 2004 after graduating from Sam Houston State University and growing up in Shepherd, Texas. In addition to leading the youth at Heritage, he is a teacher at Foster High School.
Bro. Jared desires to see the youth group live for God on an every day basis. He says he grew up “playing church” and it wasn’t until his senior year of high school that he truly understood that God wanted to use him and wanted total commitment from him.
“I don't want to see these kids waste as many years as I did,” Bro. Jared said. “I want to see them ‘get it’ and truly live it.”
He married his wife Jennifer on March 11, 2006 after four years of dating.  Little Jayce joined the family on April 30th, 2009.
