Pastor Jared Timberlake was born and raised here in Scioto County. He is a 2011 graduate of Wheelersburg High School.

During his time in the military, Jared and his wife Hannah attended Hillcrest Baptist Church in El Paso, Texas.

In October 2015 Jared and his wife moved back to Scioto County and immediately began working with the teenagers here at Sandhill. Jared began his ministry and was preaching within the church and the Christian Baptist Association. In July 2019, Jared was elected as the pastor of Sandhill. Pastor Jared and Sandhill Christian Baptist Church have a goal to “Reach the 75K”, sharing the Gospel with the people of Scioto County and the surrounding area.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education with a concentration in history from Marshall University. Jared holds an associates degree in human services from Ohio Christian University.
