Jessica Gerhardt

Jessica Gerhardt is a Catholic, singer-songwriter-ukuleleist, artist, speaker, writer, and community builder who has a decade worth of experience working in music and youth ministry. She grew up in Santa Monica, California, a child of Jewish and Catholic descent, affectionately called a "Cashew" as a kid. Jessica attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon where she majored in Psychology. Her work and her artistry stem from her desire to understand and accompany others in their diverse experiences, appreciating how each one uniquely reflects the image of God. In it all, she strives to create safe spaces for others to be reminded of their Belovedness, to question, to grow, and to be most authentically who God created them to be.
