Following his marriage to Loretta, they moved to Ravenswood where he directed music at Ravenswood Church of the Nazarene.

Jerry was an ordained elder in the Nazarene and the Wesley Churches. Over many years he also pastored several churches: Warrenton Church of the Nazarene, Parsons Church of the Nazarene, Colorado Springs Church of the Bluffs, and Burke UMC.
