Sixty years
on the east side.

Naomi has led Alder Street since 2014. She grew up in Salem, studied at Fuller, and still thinks the best theology happens over a second cup of coffee.

Ben preaches, leads the elders and runs the Wednesday night groups. Before ministry he taught high school history for nine years.

Priya oversees everything from the nursery to 5th grade, including the safety team that background-checks and trains every volunteer.

Marcus leads middle and high school students, coaches a very average church softball team and plans the Mt. Hood retreat every fall.

Elena leads the Sunday worship team and the Worship Nights, and curates the art that hangs in the old printworks gallery hallway.

Grace coordinates hospital visits, meal trains and the prayer team. If you are going through something hard, she is the first person to call.

Tom keeps the building, budget and calendar running, and knows exactly which key opens the fellowship hall closet.

Leah helps people find a small group, trains new group leaders and hosts a Tuesday group in her living room in Sunnyside.
