Jeff Holton
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CHAPLAIN
My name is Jeff Holton, and I have been with Anchor House since November 2022. I bring over 30 years of ministry experience to the team. My life journey has taken me across America, serving in a pastoral role in New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and now Florida at Anchor House. Since 2018, I am also a bi-vocational pastor at West Bradenton Southside Church in Bradenton.
​
My wife, Carrie, and I have been married for over 25 years and we have four children, Micaiah, Gabe, Simon-Charles, and Berea. We have two cats, Olaf, and Fire Paw and a dog, Luna.

Luke Evangelista
CHAPLAIN
Hello! My name is Luke Evangelista, and I have the privilege of serving as the chaplain at Anchor House. A little bit about me: I’m passionate about talking about the Bible, always ready to toss a frisbee, and incredibly excited to be part of the mission here at Anchor House.
​
In this role, I have the honor of providing support and care to international seafarers at SeaPort Manatee. Anchor House is a truly special place with a unique mission: to be the light of Christ to seafarers from around the globe by meeting their emotional, physical, and spiritual needs.
​
I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible work and invite you to partner with us as we continue to see God’s hand in this amazing mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who work tirelessly at sea.
