Pastoral Search Committee,
Nearly five years ago, I stepped into the role of senior pastor at a church just outside San Antonio, TX. At the time, we were averaging just under 200 people in attendance. Today, by the grace of God, we see over 900 people walking through our doors every week.
When I took this position, I had no previous experience as a senior pastor. In fact, I followed a leader with decades of experience—yet the church struggled to grow. Leadership makes all the difference, and I had to learn that firsthand.
In addition to pastoring, I have the privilege of coaching pastors nationwide through the Church Multiplication Network. I’ve seen a lot of leaders up close, and I can confidently say that Jason Mayfield is one of the sharpest church leaders I’ve ever met.
Jason and I have been close friends for over 15 years. We’ve worked together in ministry, and I regularly bring him in to speak at my church because he brings wisdom, clarity, and a boldness that most leaders simply don’t have. His ability to lead far exceeds that of the average seasoned senior pastor.
If you’re looking for someone who is qualified, skilled, and anointed, Jason and Ashleigh Mayfield are the team you need. I believe you’d be hard-pressed to find a better fit.
I’d be more than happy to talk further—feel free to call me on my personal cell at (972) 523-2157.

To Whom It May Concern,
It is my absolute honor to recommend my dear friend and ministry partner, Jason Mayfield.
Over the past 25 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside Jason in ministry, witnessing firsthand his remarkable intellect, deep theological insight, and unwavering commitment to the Gospel.
As a doctoral student, I spend significant time in cohorts with some of the greatest theologians alive today and immerse myself in the works of some of the greatest theologians who have gone before us. My journey has led me through the halls of academia, engaging with rigorous theological discourse, yet I can say with full confidence that Jason Mayfield possesses one of the sharpest theological minds I have ever encountered. The difference? While many pursue formal education as the pathway to depth, Jason has forged a different road—one marked by relentless personal study, devotion to Scripture, and a faithfulness to let the Word shape him in ways that extend beyond the classroom.
Jason is ordained with the Assemblies of God, but his influence reaches far beyond denominational lines. His ability to communicate Scripture with clarity and power is matched only by his passion for helping others encounter the transformative truth of God's Word. His organic education—cultivated through years of disciplined study, Spirit-led revelation, and an unwavering commitment to sound doctrine—has shaped him into a theologian of exceptional caliber. In a time when degrees often serve as a credential for competence, Jason Mayfield stands as a testimony that true theological brilliance is not confined to the walls of an institution but is found in those who have submitted themselves wholly to the Word of God.
What sets Jason apart is not only his intellectual ability but also his deep pastoral heart. He does not simply analyze the Word—he lives it, teaches it, and applies it with wisdom that many formally educated individuals struggle to attain. I have seen firsthand how his teaching challenges, equips, and strengthens those who hear him. His voice carries weight, not because of a diploma, but because of the undeniable anointing and depth with which he speaks.
I wholeheartedly commend Jason Mayfield to you. If you are looking for a man who not only understands theology but also embodies it—who not only teaches the Word but lives it—Jason is that man. I am honored to call him a friend, a co-laborer, and a theologian in the truest sense of the word.
Feel free to call me at (205) 482-8364 if you would like to discuss Jason’s qualifications further.

Shane Warren, Pastor; The Bend Church
“Jason Mayfield is a profound communicator of God’s Word. He brings clarity and passion to his messages. Not only did we get a great word from the Bible, we also had a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit. Our altars were packed! We saw many saved (highest non-easter response), many baptized in the Holy Spirit, and we’ve had confirmed healings.

“Jason Mayfield has been my very close friend and fellow minister of the Gospel for nearly twenty years. With incredible insight to the Word of God and a balanced theology, he is an anointed and effective preacher and teacher. He walks with integrity, has a passion for God, and a deep love for people. His passion for helping people discover Jesus and find their purpose in the plan of God is contagious. With great confidence, I highly recommend him.”
Tony Sutherland, Evangelist and Author
“As a pastor, I am always looking for an evangelist to leave our church better than they found it. Jason exceeded my expectations. We saw multiple salvations, healings, and Spirit baptisms. An added bonus was his wisdom behind the scenes for staff and church health. I highly recommend his ministry!”
Derek Draughon, Senior Pastor; Saraland First
To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great confidence that I recommend Jason Mayfield for the position of Senior Pastor at your church. As the former District Youth Director for the Peninsula Florida District Council, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working alongside many leaders. Jason and his wife, Ashleigh, are a rare breed—high-caliber leaders who carry both spiritual depth and the ability to innovate in ministry.
Jason possesses an extraordinary ministry intuition that allows him to navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and lead with both wisdom and boldness. Personally, I value his insights so highly that he is often one of the first people I call when seeking counsel. His ability to assess situations, cast vision, and implement strategies makes him a remarkable leader in any church setting.
One of the most unique qualities about Jason is that he has a classical Pentecostal feel—he carries the fire of past generations while bringing fresh, innovative ministry strategies to the table. Every now and then, you might even catch him singing an old song that accompanies that heritage. He understands the rich legacy of the church while simultaneously equipping it to thrive in today’s world. Your church would be blessed under his leadership, and I have no doubt that he would guide it into a strong, Spirit-led future, helping you reach your community like never before.
It is without hesitation that I recommend Jason Mayfield as your next Senior Pastor. He is more than equipped to lead with excellence, integrity, and spiritual power.
Praying God’s Blessing,
