Jessica Loose
Jessica was born and raised in New Hampshire, and grew up with many opportunities to explore the great outdoors across northern New England. She credits these experiences, and many other outdoor experiences across the US and Europe, with setting her up to receive the Gospel during her college years. She and her husband Jason fell in love with ministry while serving on staff at a church plant in Thousand Oaks, CA. They and their daughter Margot recently moved to Maine after they felt the Lord call Jason to take a job at Mirus Academy in Ellsworth. For Jessica, working with Thrive is an answered prayer for an opportunity to serve the Kingdom and share the Gospel in Maine.
