Jenny was born in Covington, LA and raised in Houma, LA. She has one older brother. She has been a single parent for her teenage son Dakota his whole life. She is a Nicholls State University Graduate with a Bachlors Degree in Accounting. She met her husband Joseph West III at Church in February 2021 and they were married on September 20, 2021.
Jenny originally started attending Coteau Baptist Church with her family when she was a child. Her walk with Christ began in June 1997. As she grew up and moved away from her parents, slowly over the years she turned away from Church and God. However; GOD’s call to come back to Him was too great for her to ignore and on February 11, 2019 she rededicated her life to Christ. It was the best decision she has ever made.
Jenny officially became the Church Office Manager on February 8, 2021 bringing her back to Coteau Baptist Church. She is also the Church Treasurer, a Kid’s Camp chaperone, a part of the Van Ministry team, and works alongside her husband as a Youth Volunteer. Being able to work in a ministry with her husband is something that is very important to her. Her husband Joseph is a Deacon and a Member of the Praise Team.
Jenny believes that ministry is hard work, takes great sacrifice and can be exhausting. However, she also believes it is a blessing, privilege and honor to be a servant of GOD.
