Pastor Jared & Trinh Ellis

Our Lead Pastors

PASTORS JARED & TRINH ELLIS

Jared & Trinh are the Lead Pastors of E2 Church in Elk Grove, California. Our lead Pastors have a heart to spread the message of Jesus that is easy to understand while also providing a fresh word for others. 

Jared Ellis is a pastor, communicator, songwriter and author. As the Senior Pastor of E2 Church in Sacramento, CA, he has helped grow the church-plant into a rapidly growing, next-generation movement. Through E2 Worship, he has written and released original music across multiple albums. 

With over 19 years of ministry experience, he has worked at some of the most influential churches and movements in the world. He holds a degree from Ecclesia College in Practical Ministry and Christian Leadership and is the author of Yes: Simple Response, Radical Results, Faith Journey Exponential: A Discipleship Guide and his latest book, How To Become A Prayer Warrior. 

He and his wife, Trinh, are happily married and live in Sacramento, CA, where they lead their church together. 

Trinh Ellis graduated from UCLA with a BA in Sociology and spent the majority of her career in the business world. Working with high-powered companies, Trinh got her experience of leading and managing organizations which ultimately led her to launch her own businesses back home in Sacramento. In 2021, Trinh felt the call to leave the public sector and enter into full-time ministry with her husband, Pastor Jared.

Both Pastor Jared and Trinh have a passion for Elk Grove, Sacramento and the region of Northern California to experience a next-generation church that will teach the Bible, reach the lost and make a difference in their community.

OUR BELIEFS

  • The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives. It is the sole source of revelation we teach from and is the authority for the Christian life.

  • God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.

  • We believe in the continuance of the spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12 as the Holy Spirit distributes them. The practice of these gifts in and through the church requires structure, order, spiritual leadership, and accountability.

  • Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

  • Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain the right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

  • The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

  • The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.

OUR 7 VALUES

  • Christ is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:17)

  • Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. (Colossians 3:23)

  • And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:5)

  • Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10)

  • For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. (Matthew 25:29)

  • Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. (1 Corinthians 12:27)

  • One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. (Psalm 145:4)
