After 20 years in pastoral ministry in a large denominational structure, Jay & Traci Minor felt a gentle nudge from the Spirit toward a different way of doing church. The pandemic of 2020 accelerated that feeling into practical reality as they experimented with a small group structure united by a common commitment to a church identity that, by necessity, happened in a virtual environment. Feeling a strong leading from the Spirit, they resigned from their full time ministry roles and have committed themselves to being self-supporting so as to make room for God to create something new through the Simply Holy Collective.

Jay & Traci believe strongly that the love of God expressed through the life of Jesus and in the continuing work of the Spirit is the answer to the challenges of our world, and that love is worth pursuing, learning about, practicing, expressing, giving away and imitating.
