Jared Pilkington

  • “Jared was our main speaker for FCA camp in 2024, and throughout the entire planning process he was so flexible and easy to work with. Jared engaged the campers with his relatable stories and energetic presence on stage, but he always stayed true in sharing the Word. We loved Jared because he is rooted in the Word while laying out sustainable Christ-centered practices for youth to understand and apply in their everyday living.”
