Jalen was born in Elkhart, IN, but raised in New Castle, IN by his mother and grandmother. All he has known was church and from a young age was told that he would one day be a great man of God. From a young age, Jalen had big dreams to make an impact on the world and the community in which he lived. 

Jalen accepted the call into ministry while at Indiana State University where he was instrumental and leader of Church @ISU. He graduated in 2018 with his Bachelor's in Social Work.

Before graduation from ISU, Jalen relocated to Indianapolis, IN where he joined Greater Works Cathedral (GWC) under the leadership of Bishop Jonathan D. Mason where he currently serves as the Youth Pastor, Media Director, and Worship Leader.

Jalen currently has his Master's in Social Work with a certification in eSocial Work Practice. He plans to continue to build several businesses to impact the Indianapolis community and abroad while also serving at GWC.
