About Me

Harry Jarrett is the pastor of Pleasant Valley Church of the Brethren and a former church-plant missionary who spent a decade launching vibrant Mennonite congregations across Italy and Sicily. After stepping back from full-time ministry in 2012, he built On Sunny Slope Farm—an award-winning wedding and events venue—and later led sales and operations teams in the hospitality industry, most recently as General Manager of Courtyard Marriott in Harrisonburg, VA. Now back in the pulpit, Harry blends cross-cultural insight, entrepreneurial grit, and Marriott-honed hospitality to help everyday believers live out a faith that works—at home, at work, and in the wider world.
