Jeff Harris
ElderI was born in Alliance, raised for a good part of my life in the Sandhills East of town and am blessed to have been raised by parents who love the Lord and were both involved in different ministries in Alliance. When I was 12 I gave my life to Jesus. I met my best friend and wife, Brigit, in 1st grade, started dating her when I was 15 years old and married her in 1987. We have two sons, Derek and Matt. Derek and his wife Becky live in Alliance where he is a Machinist at Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Becky works with special needs children for ESU 13. Matt and his wife Olivia live in Gering. Matt is a bank President at Platte Valley Bank in Morrill, and Olivia is a Registered Nurse. We have three wonderful grandchildren in Broox, Thompson (Tomi), and Callaway (Cal) Harris. I was in the Agricultural lending industry from 1989 to 2022 and Brigit was a business and technology educator from 1991 to 2024. We both love to work with our hands, whether it be remodeling, landscaping, or building furniture and cabinetry. We both share a passion to help the hurting. The Lord led to us starting a ministry in 2019 called Whole Hearts Ministries in which we mentor couples and singles to allow Jesus Christ to heal emotional and spiritual pain in their lives. We are thankful for our church family at Alliance Berean!
