Jay Winters has been coaching since 2018. He got interested coaching after attending a training session on coaching. Since then, he has been using coaching in his ministry at a campus ministry at Florida State University, as well as with others who have been scattered throughout the globe.
Jay Winters grew up on the mission field as the son of a missionary in the Philippines where he lived until he was almost 13. After the Philippines, Jay and his family moved to St. Louis, MO, where his parents still reside. Jay completed an English BA for his undergraduate degree at Concordia University – Nebraska, and moved on to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis MO.
It was while he was at Concordia Seminary that Jay began to become interested in campus ministry work. This led him to be able to take a vicarage (internship) assignment at First Lutheran in Gainesville, FL – the campus ministry to the campus of the University of Florida. After completing his time in Gainesville and his last academic year at Concordia Seminary, Jay was called to University Lutheran in Tallahassee, where he continues to serve as pastor and campus minister.
While in Gainesville, Jay met his wife, Liz. They have three daughters together, Cricket Belle, Tempest Jane, and Willow Ann.
