JENNA IMERGOOT
Founder & President
Jenna Imergoot is the Founder and President of BreakDown STL, a nonprofit organization she launched in 2006 in response to God’s call to impact youth culture. With over 30 years of experience as a high school coach, youth leader, and mentor, Jenna has dedicated her life to discipling the next generation and calling them to become all that God created them to be.
Her background as a professional dancer allowed her to work on various professional sets, equipping her with the artistic vision needed to make BreakDown STL a multimedia success. Under Jenna’s leadership, BreakDown STL has grown into a powerful movement, reaching thousands of students through live presentations, mentorship, outreach, and discipleship programs.
Jenna is passionate about raising disciples who make disciples and is committed to equipping young people with the TRUTH—helping them make healthy life choices that shape their character, integrity, and most importantly, their identity in Christ. She and her husband, Terry ("Papa T"), serve together as full-time youth missionaries, mentoring and equipping the next generation to boldly walk in their God-given calling.
As a speaker and mentor, Jenna trains young leaders, parents, and educators on youth culture, faith-based leadership, and discipleship. Her vision is to see BreakDown STL continue to expand, reaching even more young people with the hope of Christ.
Jenna is blessed to do life with her husband, Terry, and their growing family. Her son, Johnny, is married to Lauren, and her daughter, Reagan, is married to Dennis. Recently, she stepped into one of her greatest joys—becoming "Honey" to their first grandbaby, Hudson!
Terry Imergoot
VP of Operations and Finance
Terry has been a faithful supporter of BreakDown STL since its inception in 2006, when his wife, Jenna, founded the ministry. For many years, he served in a variety of volunteer roles—ranging from photography to male discipleship and nearly everything in between. After sensing a consistent calling from the Lord, Terry stepped out in obedience and officially joined the BreakDown STL staff in February 2022. He now oversees Operations and Finance, helping ensure the ministry runs with excellence behind the scenes.
With a deep passion for the mission, Terry has witnessed countless lives transformed through BreakDown STL’s message and outreach. His commitment is rooted not only in his love for youth but also in the clear evidence of God's hand on this ministry over the years.
Terry is incredibly proud to serve alongside Jenna and considers it a blessing to work together in advancing the Kingdom. He is a father to two grown children, Johnny and Reagan, and recently became a grandpa to his first grandchild, Hudson. Affectionately known as “Papa T” to many in the BreakDown community, he now carries that special title in a new way as Papa to Hudson.
