April 5, Janeen Little was warmly welcomed and officially installed as the new pastor of the Tracy Church.
Born and raised in South Africa, Janeen moved to the United States with her family as a child, and from an early age, she felt a deep calling to pastoral ministry—one that would shape her life and career.
Equipped with a Master of Divinity and a teaching credential, Janeen began her NCC ministry as a chaplain and Bible teacher at Lodi Academy, where she spent nine years mentoring and guiding students. Her passion for relational ministry led her to serve as associate pastor at the Lodi Fairmont Church, a role she held for the past three years.
Jim Lorenz, ministerial director, stated, “Janeen brings a wealth of experience to her new assignment, and while this will be her first time stepping into the lead pastor role, she embraces the challenge with enthusiasm. We are excited about this new phase in her ministry.”
“I’m excited to join the Tracy Church, which has demonstrated that they show up for each other,” Little shared, “I value doing life with people who value relationships.”
Janeen shares her life with her husband, Matt, and their three children: Emma, Daniel, and Amy.
