Jeffrey and Jessica Cagle (Sophie and Lauryn)

I was born in the Chicago area and moved to Sanford, NC, during my freshman year of high school. Today, my husband, Jeffrey, and I live in Durham with our two daughters. I’m also blessed with three older children, a son-in-law, and a granddaughter who live nearby—we love spending time together as a family.

I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior at a young age, but it was at a church camp in Kansas when I was 12 years old that I truly understood what it means to follow Him. Though I fall short at times, my prayer is that my life reflects His love and grace. (Isaiah 12:2)

As Ministry Assistant, I serve wherever I’m needed, with a focus on communications and administration. My main responsibilities include social media, graphic design, website management, attendance, the NewsBrief, the bulletin, and general office support.

Before joining Ridgecrest, I owned and managed a residential cleaning business for 12 years and a professional organizing business for 3 years. I have also worked as a ghostwriter and virtual assistant for several blogs, managed social media for various businesses, and designed websites.

In my free time, I love being outdoors—hiking, kayaking, tubing on the river, camping, admiring the night sky, or simply sitting by the fire in our backyard. I also enjoy playing games with family and friends, reading, and hosting others in our home. I also serve as a youth leader in our student ministry. This has been one of my greatest callings for most of my adult life.
