Lindsay and Jeremy were both raised in Christian homes. Lindsay grew up in West Palm Beach, FL and Jeremy grew up in Barrington, just outside of Portsmouth, NH. They've been married for 17 years and have two wonderful children (Hannah, 13 and Ezra, 9). They have been in full-time gospel ministry for 14 years.

In 2009, with the help of many gospel partners and gifted friends, they planted Truth Point Church (PCA) in West Palm Beach, FL. That church is still going strong under the leadership of its second Lead Pastor. During that time, Jeremy's sermons were broadcast on Moody Radio, and in 2020, Christianity Today asked Jeremy to write The Model Sermon: Principles of Preaching from the Book of Hebrews.

In 2020, they began serving at The First Congregational Church of Hamilton, MA. By God’s grace, they navigated the challenges of COVID-19 and saw the church revitalized with new converts and their largest membership class in over 20 years. It was a joy for the McKeens to serve with such wonderful leaders and laypeople.

God has graciously used the past three years of ministry in New England to confirm the McKeen's call to this area while also reclarifying Jeremy's gifts as a church planter and giving them a long-term vision and burden to reach the people of Portsmouth, NH. The Lord has been confirming this call through Scripture, prayer, outside affirmation and counsel, providential open doors, and a sense of the right timing.

On October 21, 2023, the Northern New England Presbytery of the PCA officially called Jeremy to start a mission church in the Portsmouth area. The McKeens are serving together by faith and are excited for the ministry team that God is developing.

Over the past several months, the McKeens have been listening to the people in this area, seeking to attentively and actively respond to what God is already doing, and prayerfully developing a team that will launch services and serve the community together.
