Pastor Justin, his wife Lynsey, and their five kids moved from Alaska to find warmer weather. Justin and Lynsey had always talked about moving to Oregon and watched as God worked to redirect them into church ministry and move them to Oregon. Pastor Justin is excited about working with youth, and connecting them with their families who are the primary source of discipleship in their lives (Deuteronomy 6). Pastor Justin loves sports and playing in the outdoors. He is excited to see the entire church family support all its children.
