Hi Friends! 

My name is Jason Gaskin, and I am truly honored to serve as the pastor of Storied Church. To be honest, I am amazed that the vision God has called us to is becoming a reality. This fills me with excitement about what the future holds for our community.

First and foremost, I am the husband to my amazing wife and best friend, Kiah, and dad to three adorable kids, Isaac, Laurel, and Caroline. (pray for us!) 
​
I am an ordained pastor of the United Methodist Church, and I planted Storied Church in 2019.
​
Becoming a "church planter" and founding a congregation was never part of my long-term pastoral goals. Over a decade ago, a friend asked if I was interested in planting a church, and I replied with a definite no. Like many people confronted with a vision that carries a significant risk of failure, I tended to avoid it and play it safe.
​
But a few years ago, I felt a nudge to plant a new faith community here in Mebane. My inclination was to sweep this nudge under the rug and move on. But my wonderful wife, on one of our evening walks, encouraged me to share this vision that was growing within me. And I did. And here we are almost seven years later. 
​
Lesson... what you say "no" to will probably one day become a "yes." 
​
My hope and prayer for this community is that we stay true to our values. We shouldn't just say one thing and mean another. When we say we are "inclusive," we truly mean it! If we fall short, we welcome the challenge to improve. 
​
We also want to be a community that is about deep and meaningful relationships. Because relationships, at the end of the day, are what change us. It isn't a sermon. It isn't music. It is authentic, inclusive relationships. 
​
We are on this journey together! Let me know how I can support you. Would love to connect! And I know our team would also love to connect with you!
