Welcome, Jacob Mathes!
We are so excited to welcome Jacob Mathes to the Engage Hope Board of Directors! Jacob's heart for the Lord, his global mission experience, and his professional expertise make him a wonderful addition to our team. We look forward to all that God will do through him!
Born and raised in the Dallas area, Jacob grew up attending First Baptist Church Carrollton (now First Baptist Church at the Fields). He graduated from PCA before earning an Accounting degree from the University of Oklahoma and his CPA license. He began his career at Ernst & Young and now serves as AVP-Finance at Wintrust Asset Finance in Frisco. He and his wife Lindsey were married in 2022 and welcomed their daughter Emma in January 2026. They are active members of Watermark Community Church in Dallas.
Jacob accepted Christ in July 2002, and his faith has shaped every aspect of his life. He has served on short-term mission trips to Mexico, Taiwan, China, and Nicaragua, as well as at Christian summer camps and through local missions. He is excited to join the Engage Hope board and looks forward to what the Lord will continue to do through this organization.
