Reverend M. Jeffrey (Jeff) Hoppe – I became fully certified as an ACPE Educator in 2005 during my 18-year service as a Staff Chaplain in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. I came to Chaplaincy as a vocation after 5 years in the local parish and a year of Residency at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. I am a native of Texas, have lived in various regions of the country, am educated/ordained in Southern Baptist institutions, and am endorsed by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Before coming to Eastern Oklahoma VA Healthcare System in 2018, I served in a Chaplain leadership role at Presbyterian Healthcare Services in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA. I have been married to my wife Kathy since 1981. We have two adult sons, three grandsons, and one granddaughter. In the past several years, Kathy and I have collaborated in the writing and publishing of two books: ‘Discovery Teaching Like Jesus’ and ‘Drowning for Jesus.’
