Jessica Noelle Bass was born in Norwalk, CT and is a native of Stamford.  She was raised in a small non-denominational Pentecostal church and accepted Jesus Christ into her life as her personal Savior on Sunday, June 4, 1996 at the age of eleven; and was baptized a year later on October 31.  The following summer, Jessica embarked upon her first missionary journey to the rural areas of the Dominican Republic at the age of thirteen.  After graduating as an honor student from Sacred Heart Academy of Stamford in 2002, Jessica relocated to Atlanta, GA where she completed her undergraduate studies at Spelman College in May 2006 and received her Bachelor of Arts degree in English.  After graduating college, Jessica worked as a paralegal in a thriving law firm in Stamford, which specializes in medical malpractice defense.

Jessica is an active member of Macedonia Church in Norwalk where she serves in several capacities.  She is the Director of Interpretive Worship for the Girls Junior Missionary Group, a member of the Voices of Macedonia Ensemble, and an active volunteer for the Macedonia AIDS Outreach Ministry.  Jessica is also involved in various organizations in the interest of the public, as well as extends herself as a mentor and role model to the youth in her home church and local community.  She is the Executive Assistant of Sing for Change, a faith-based HIV/AIDS initiative established in Connecticut.  Currently, Jessica lives in New Haven and is enrolled at Yale Divinity School, where she is a candidate for a Masters of Divinity degree.

Jessica is passionate about having and maintaining a personal relationship with God, as well as serving as an instrument of change in her spheres of influence.  The words of Graham Kendric envelop Jessica's personal passion and pursuit of genuine worship in her everyday life: “The genuineness of our worship cannot be measured in decibels of sound, and although it is vital that we express our love for God vocally, He looks to see the evidence in our lives.”
