Jarret F. Spence
was born on August 26, 1973 in Valparaiso,
Indiana. He was blessed to be raised up in The
Church of Jesus Christ in Portage, Indiana by
his parents Bishop Jarret Randell and Judy
Spence. The Lord dealt with him at youth camp
in 1989 and he was baptized in August of that
year. He received the Holy Ghost in January of
1990.
In 1991, he graduated from Portage High School
and enrolled at Purdue University as an
Elementary Education major. It is here that he
met his future wife, Caryn. Caryn was born on
August 16, 1974 in East Chicago, Indiana and was
raised in Gary, Indiana. She graduated from
high school in 1992 and also enrolled at Purdue
University as an Elementary Education major.
She knew from an early age that God was dealing
with her and prayed that God would lead her to
the truth. This happened in 1997, when Caryn
and Jarret's paths crossed at Purdue. She was
invited to church and accepted the truth and
began her walk with Jesus Christ. She was
baptized on January 10, 1998 and received the
Holy Ghost March 8, 1998. She has been a Sunday
School teacher since that time.
In May of 1998, Jarret and Caryn both graduated
from Purdue with degrees in Elementary
Education. The Lord has blessed them both with
jobs that enable them to take off work whenever
necessary to attend tent meetings and other
church functions.
On July 18, 1998,
Jarret and Caryn were married in The Church of
Jesus Christ by Bishop Spence. They have since
been blessed with two daughters Zoe and Grace.
In May of 2005, Jarret received his Master's
degree in Elementary Education and continues to
work as a second grade teacher.
