"My family and I are so excited to be part of the family here at Hood River Alliance Church. Since coming on staff in June of 2004, we have been blessed to see the body of Christ functioning in their gifts and making a difference in this community for Christ. My responsibilities at the church include Small Group Ministry and Men's Ministry. I have a passion for seeing believers involved in Active Christian Community where they can be challenged and built up to become fully devoted followers of Christ."
After nine years in youth ministry I find myself the associate pastor at Hood River Alliance Church. I count it a privilege to serve as one of Gods tools wherever that may be. I am grateful to be serving at HRAC now giving attention to adult discipleship, missions, media, communications, and Steve's sanity. Seeing followers of Christ become mature, fully active members of His Body and seeing new followers come to Him are what I want my life and ministry to be about.
"It's our prayer that every student who walks through our doors would know how wide, how long, how high, and how deep the love of Christ really is, that they would be complete. It is our passion and our life's work as youth staff to be bridge builders to Jesus, and see every student know the fullness of life in Christ."
'I love that God called me to this. I love the creativity of worship and I love the church. It's my hope that God would be working in us so that we could be a community of worshipers who are missionaries in this world, being part of community in smaller settings, and then coming together for a worship gathering."
Lud Tolbert, Recovery Ministries Director "I was brought on staff to assist where needed, but to primarily be responsible for three areas of ministry: Adult Sunday School, Recovery Ministries(drug & alcohol, men struggling with sexual inappropriate behavior and their wives, divorce care, etc.), and finally the area of "Assimilation", which is defined as attracting & evangelizing people, getting them involved in relationships, growing them in their faith and helping them to serve in some form of ministry."
"I just love directing our Children's Ministries. Children are my passion! There is no greater joy than listening to a beautiful child pray and profess their love for our Lord Jesus Christ! Our goal in Children's Ministry is to help kids learn to know and love Jesus!"
I love being part of a team that is lead by the Lord to create a place where children come and learn about Jesus. It is a privilege and honor to serve the families at Hood River Alliance Church. I love people!!!
