2026 Speaker: Jesse Beernick
Jesse and Meranda Beernink, along with their abundance of adorable children (Malayna, Mariana, Jezaniah, Xylia, Zayden, Ezekiel, Judah, Elias, Hollyn and one adult, married child – Turner), are excited and humbled by the call to lead Resonate Church. Jesse and Meranda have a deep passion for people that aren’t normally involved in the church.
Jesse and Meranda have been married since 2005, and together, have been “all-in” in ministry the moment they began life together. Jesse spent 12 years in full-time ministry mainly as a Student Ministry Pastor working with students and families priot to receiving his call to plant a church in 2017.
Jesse’s education began at Life Training Institute, where he received a Pastoral License; took Biblical Survey and Theology classes; and interned directly with the Student Ministry Pastor. Jesse has also studied theology and ministry at Northwestern College and Liberty University, as well as Business Management at Blackhawk Technical College.
When not spending time with his family, Jesse enjoys playing and watching sports – specifically the 49ers, Brewers, Bucks, and Badgers. Jesse also loves spending time supporting, loving, and building relationships with the Janesville Fire Fighters and Paramedics as the JFD Chaplain.
