Nashville, TN → Southwest Michigan
Worship Director. Teacher. Producer. Creative. Nashville-raised, Southwest Michigan-planted, and building something for God in every room he walks into.
Who I Am
A mentor once told Jared: "My goal as a father is to make my ceiling the floor for my children." He took that seriously. He still does.
Jared Raines grew up in Nashville, TN. Left in 2010. Somehow, Southwest Michigan is where he landed, and he would tell you that was no accident.
He is a worship director, teacher, and creative. He operates inside a shared leadership community at The Barn Church, where real people and real faith show up every week.
He is a self-starter in the truest sense. Whatever he takes on, he commits to mastering it. That's not a personality quirk. That's a calling.
Studio
Jared runs a personal home studio where creativity and conviction share the same space. The goal is simple: music that is genuinely, uncompromisingly God-centric.
Ministry
The Barn Church is a shared leadership community in Southwest Michigan. It's built on a culture of honor, where every person carries something from God that the community needs.
Jared serves inside that community as Worship Director and Teaching Oversight, operating within a five-fold ministry model. The mission stays simple: engage the culture, pursue revival, and build people up.
Podcast
Jared is launching his own podcast in May. Every other Friday, he brings a word, a conversation, or a perspective worth your time. This is not a church broadcast. This is Jared, in your ears, talking about what God is actually doing.
