Carl Jenks

Founder and President of Mountain Takers Inc. - 2009 -
My years of corporate and church experience have always been involved in facilitating the growth and success of people. These skills and experience have converged in coaching and training corporate and not-for profit leaders, regionally, nationally and internationally.

Corporate Life Counselor - Lightwave Enterprises Inc. - January 2005 - January
2009
Executive coaching, facilitated conflict resolution, conducted leadership training for management teams, helped refine business vision, bring employee training and publications to reflect corporate values more accurately, and on going corporate life counsel.

Senior Pastor - New Hope Community Church - January 2000 - May 2009
North Chili Community Church changed its name in 2000 to reflect its broader reach. Over the next 8 years my personal involvements also broadened into the coporate, NGO, and international arenas. This expansion for me was facilitated by others growing as well. All of this converged into a changing of the guard in spring 2009. I continue to advise and mentor the leadership team on an "as needed" basis

Leadership Team - Faith Connections at Work - 2002 -2006
Faith Connections at Work (FCAW) was a seminal part of the "Marketplace Ministry" movement of the early part of the 21st Century. My role was to help give pastoral perspective and influence within the church community of Western New York State. It was a fun time because of the excitement of business people when they discovered that God really did care about what they did for a living! In fact, He wanted to be involved with them in it! This was also strategic in my own journey back into the business environment.

Pastor - North Chili Community Church - 1986 - 1999
I started with North Chili as a pastoral counselor, and progressively grew within the organization to become first an associate pastor, then senior pastor when the founding pastor moved to begin a new church in another part of the region. My responsibilities were commensurate with each job title.

Founding Pastor - Westside New Covenant - NY, NY - 1977 - 1985
From 1977 to 1980, in addition to my full time occupation in advertising, I had the wonderful privilege of beginning this dynamic church on Manhattan's Upper Westside. Eventually we grew to the size where two jobs for me was one too many and I left "Madison Avenue" to pastor full time.

Producer - Rosenfeld, Sirowitz and Lawson Advt. NY, NY - 1978 - 1980
RSL was a mid-sized, progressive agency with primarily regional clients. As a producer I oversaw all aspects of production for both television and radio commercials.

Producer - Warwick, Welsh and Miller Advt. NY, NY - 1971 - 1978
Oversaw all aspects of the production of radio and television commercials and the making of sales films for a range of regional, national, and international clients.
