Jacob Baumer

Jacob has been a teacher and coach at the Lakewood Christian Schools since 2012 and is finishing up teaching this school year and then will begin to serve in student ministries at Los Altos Grace.

In 2010, he graduated from California State University Long Beach, with his degree in Business Administration – Management. He has attended Long Beach Grace Brethren Church from 2006 through 2017. During his time there, he served as a small group leader in the high school ministry from 2009 through 2017.   He attributes everything about his life, including his career, residence, relationships, and hobbies to the opportunities the Lord has presented him through youth ministry.

In his free time, Jacob enjoys playing and watching sports (specifically the Lakers, Rams, Angels, Ducks, and USC), and was formerly a professional ultimate frisbee player. He is also a big fan of music and movies and thoroughly enjoys reading good books. So if you ever need a movie or concert buddy, or have a book recommendation, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Jacob attributes his faith in the Lord to his close friends, Scripture, important readings, and the very clear path that God has had for him since before he became a believer in 2006. His favorite verse, Joshua 1:9, has reminded Jacob to “be strong and courageous,” because God is with him at all times.
