About the Staff

Pastor Jason carle

Jason Carle started to serve as pastor at South Broadland Presbyterian Church in September 2025. He was born in the cold wintry north of  Duluth, MN. After eleven years there, his parents received a call from the PC(USA) to be missionaries on the small tropical island of Mauritius, where they lived during his teenage years. Returning to the the U.S. the family settled in Blue Springs, MO and he attended Mizzou where he received a B.A. in French and a B.S. in Education. He first began to hear a call to ministry while working at Heartland Center in Parkville, MO as a camp counselor. He attended Saint Paul School of Theology, for his theological education. His first pastoral call was to Elwood Community Church in Elwood, Illinois and his second call was to Overland Park Presbyterian Church, where he have served for 15 years.

He is married to his wife Melissa, and they have two children, Roslyn and Sam. He enjoys playing guitar and occasionally inflict playing and singing on the congregation in his sermons and services.  His hobbies include playing video games, and board games that require thick, complicated rule books. Essentially, if it is something a "geek" might do, he has probably tried it at least once.

He is excited to listen and explore how we continue the work of building God's beloved community in South-Broadland's corner of Kansas City.
