I was born in Montana, with a cowboy hat on! I was born on Tuesday and in Church on Sunday. I have a great Christian heritage. I had my own horse (BUCK) before I had a bike. I remember not liking my bike because it was harder to ride than my horse. After graduating form High School I attended North Central University and then transferred to Northwest University. Rhonda and I were married in 1987 and we both graduated in 1988. We were in Youth ministry for about 18 years. We were youth pastors in Wyoming, Oregon and Washington. Our last adventure with Youth Ministry was here at Canyon creek for a short interim period.
We have four children – Trevin, Keaton, Colten, Lexie and believe me when I say that Lexie can hold her own with three older brothers. Our kids are very active in Church, School and Sports. We love to play outside and play in the rain. We have been involved in many different areas at Canyon Creek Church. We were Youth Pastors for a short time and now we are currently working with the development of our property on HWY 9, facilities and Men’s Ministry. If you have not meet me just swing by the Guest Stop on Sunday and say Hi.
Russ also serves as Canyon Creek’s Catalyst Pastor.
