Connections I Coach & Consultant

Jack Wolfe is an experienced missional architect on the 5Q Team as Champion, Connector and Coach. His expertise in coaching is richer and made uniquely practical by his own 30-year history in ministry. All of which have shaped his missional ideas and entrepreneurial mindset.

A pioneer from Indiana, moved his family of 4 in 1987 to Atlanta where he planted a conventional church that grew into large church (1,000). His desire to empower and engage the local church body to do the work of the ministry as seen in Ephesians 4 led him to read Shaping of Things to Come by Alan Hirsch, where a transition of his heart led to the transition of his ministry. He became a catalyst of the micro-church and what he called a “food-truck” movement, and Epic Faith - an integrated, missional model of ministry - was born.

Jack is an activator, initiator, and passionate communicator, often sharing a good metaphor. His podcast, Beyond the Shire reveals his passion to as he says, “get the Bilbo’s out of the shire.”

Jack has spent most of his career building things that he is passionate about, and leading others to join him in his endeavors. Now, he is excited to walk alongside others as they build out their own dreams, providing insight and encouragement along the way.

Jack and Stephanie have been married since 1974. They have two sons and three grandkids. Jack loves to run, read, and cook.
