Raised in a Christian home, Jerry Dirmann received Christ as a child, but shortly after graduating high school, he began seek God daily and was changed through revelation of God’s Word.Since this transformation of his life, Jerry’s passion has been to see multitudes discipled through the power of the Word of God and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

In April 2000, Jerry, and his wife Kimberly, founded The Rock in Anaheim, CA; which now has more than 4,000 regular attendees.

Jerry was a youth pastor for nine and a half years at Valley Community Church in El Monte, CA, and served as National Foursquare Youth Minister for six years; during which he traveled and spoke extensively across North America.

As National Youth Minister, Jerry founded and launched "Uturn", a contemporary youth ministry strategy used by many Foursquare churches across North America. Jerry is also author of "Operation: Solid Lives" (formerly Operation A.T.T.A.C.K.), an intense discipleship program, now used in a number of churches, and through which God has changed thousands of lives.

Jerry has been married to his best friend, Kimberly, for twenty-two years. They have two children, Alexa and Jonathan.
