George DeJongGeorge DeJong

George DeJong has served as Senior Pastor of Holland Heights Church in Holland, Michigan since the summer of 1990. In 1998 God ignited a great passion in George as He led him to journey the land of Israel, walking in the footsteps of his Rabbi, Jesus. Since then George has been committed to a deep study of the Text in its Jewish context. In turn, this has not only shaped his life and ministry at Holland Heights Church, but his love for the Word has opened opportunities to study with Ray Vander Laan of That The World May Know Ministries as well as at Jerusalem University College. Shaped by the rabbinic method, George has participated and lead dozens of study trips. As great as George’s passion for the study of God's Word is his love and delight to share and to teach it in the context of Egypt, Jordan and Israel.
