The Prineville Church of Christ leadership team works together with our church family to grow together as disciples of Jesus.
Our minister teaches the Word and journeys with us to grow as disciples and leaders.
Our deacon works with a finance team to take care of the finances. He also teaches Bible classes.
We are currently growing together and seeing who God will raise up as the next generation of elders to help guide, support, and pray for our church.
I love being on a lifelong journey with God. There are so many amazing things that happen and ‘coincidences’ that God orchestrates simply because of His love for us.
The church in Prineville prayed specifically for 2 years for a ministry family. My family prayed and searched for God’s will during the same time period. Do we stay in campus ministry or move into becoming a minister of the Word? James Freie was the catalyst used by God to bring us together for such a time as this.
In 2018, we moved to Prineville from Corvallis, OR where I was the campus minister at the University Christian Center for ten years. Amanda and I have been married for over 20 years and have 4 cute, blonde boys: Josiah, Jaron, Justus, and Jace. Josiah is compassionate, smart, and always full of ideas. He enjoys track, cross country, reffing basketball, and hanging out with friends. Jaron enjoys doing magic tricks and track and cross country and his new car. Justus loves almost everything outside and is full of energy and ready to do anything. When he was 2, Amanda was looking for him outside. She heard him yelling from the top of our camper, “Mommy, I climbed a tall tower,” which gave his mother a heart attack.
Amanda, is a homeschooling mom. She is a teacher for their Classical Conversation coop and enjoys helping the boys love to learn. Amanda also wrote a book with Revive ministries and speaks at retreats.
I’m a basketball referee and substitute at the High School as I try to connect with our community and serve. I enjoy serving and walking with people through the journey of life as disciples of Jesus Christ.
One of my favorite lines of Jesus comes from John 1:35-39, “Come and see.” We invite you, like Jesus did, to come and see our church family. We would love to show you around and share coffee together.
John is our deacon over finances and a native of Prineville. He is also a spiritual leader that teaches Bible classes. His wife, Leslie is a great supporter and encourager in our church family.
Michelle is the leader of our Leadership Training for Christ (LTC) Ministry. LTC is a ministry that develops our kids (3-12 grades) in areas of leadership and involvement within the church. Her husband, Gary, is a great supporter and encourager in our church family.
Jessica tirelessly serves in our clothing room sorting clothes, working with volunteers, and loving on those who come in to get free clothes. Jessica is the heart of our clothing ministry. Her husband, Kurt, loves to serve and helps with repairing our building.
