Jeremy & Amber Hood

Worship Ministry

Welcome!

Jeremy's parents were missionaries in India where he was born and raised until he was twelve.  They then moved back to California where he went to college and started his career as a Software Engineer.

Amber was born and raised in California.  Her parents moved a lot, but she always knew God was with her.  Her father passed away from cancer when she was 18.

They met during their college years at the church where his parents were pastors.  They were attracted to each other, but both too nervous to start a conversation.

Amber pursued a career in Creative Arts for the church and Jeremy moved to Georgia.  It wasn't until over ten years later that they reconnected and began a family in Georgia in 2010.

Six weeks after their wedding, they got pregnant with their daughter, Everly, who arrived six weeks before their first wedding anniversary.  Seventeen months later their son, Seth, arrived.  Two and half years later, the family found out Jeremy had stage three cancer.  After a two-year battle involving surgery, chemotherapy, and two stem-cell transplants, he is still alive, kicking, and CANCER FREE!!!  Praise the Lord!

During their cancer battle, the family felt the Lord's presence in a very tangible way.  This prompted them to find a church that was a home - a community of people who were in each other's lives and deeply loved the Lord and each other, flaws and all.  God brought them to Calvary Chapel Alpharetta and that is exactly what they found.

Jeremy works for Eleos Technologies and has been playing musical instruments off and on since he was five years old.  He feels contributing to the church musically is one of the ways he can give back to God from the bountiful blessings he has received.  Jeremy loves to mountain bike, kayak, shoot, reload, shoot slingshots, and take camping trips in their old 1998 motor home, "Harvey the RV".

Amber is a home-school mom and tries to stay as involved in the Creative Arts as possible.  She enjoys doing plays and musicals with children when time allows.  Teaching her children to walk in the ways of the Lord is her calling and her passion.
