Pastor Jeff
Hi, my name is Jeff and I am the happy husband of Lara and the proud father of David, Paul, and Kaylee. I came to Rio Vista Church as an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene, having received a bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies from Nazarene Bible College and a Master's degree in Spiritual Formation from Northwest Nazarene University. My passion is to preach God's word in ways that are relevant, relational, and encouraging. I also have a passion to assist others in discovering God's purpose and power in their lives. My interests include distance running, hiking, bicycling, canoeing, and whatever new adventures my kids or friends in the church want to invite me on.
I believe the most important activity a person can pursue is an ever deepening relationship with Jesus Christ for the sake of others. In response to God's love and mercy, I have given my life to pursuing such a relationship and to being conformed to His image. My goal is to assist God's community in experiencing and sharing His grace beyond the walls of the church. God is truly amazing and continues to surprise and challenge us to discover how He is at work in His world. I encourage you to join us for worship on Sunday mornings and experience for yourself this amazing, surprising, life-giving God.
Be happy,
&
Make new friends

Love God

Love God
Sincerely,
Pastor Jeff
