Rev. Jane Filkin is the Director of Leadership Development and Spiritual Formation for the Campolo Center for Ministry.

Jane’s passion is to celebrate, encourage, and develop the God-given gifts and influence of others. It is her joy to come alongside the Campolo Fellows, local churches, and ministry leaders as they seek the Lord and serve the Kingdom of God together.

Jane has been an ordained pastor since 2004. She studied Sociology and Education at the University of California, Berkeley. She holds a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary as well as a Certificate in Resilient Leadership from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and an Advanced Certificate in Life Coaching from the American Association of Christian Counselors. 

Jane and her family relocated to the Philadelphia area in 2020 with a desire and opportunity to pursue the work of social justice in the academy. Prior to their move, Jane served for 16 years as a Pastor of Discipleship and Community in Boulder, Colorado. Jane is also a certified life coach, partnering with people who are facing life transitions and asking essential life questions. 

“My two decades in pastoral ministry have taught me about the immeasurable love of God and the grace of living in the presence of the Holy Spirit, our deep need for both, and the joyful privilege of joining with others in Jesus’ redemptive purposes in the world.”

As the Director of Leadership Development and Spiritual Formation, Jane shepherds the undergraduate, seminary, and graduate students in rhythms of Christian formation. She is the main point of contact between the Campolo Center and churches in our area. Jane is also an Academic Advisor and Adjunct Professor in Eastern’s College of Business and Leadership, First Year Seminar, and Prison Education Program.

Jane and her husband Scott met doing college ministry in California (where they first encountered Tony), married in 2000, and have three great kids (ages 17, 15 and 13). Jane loves to be active outside, prepare and share good food, journal, garden, and enjoy time with family and friends.
