After 11 years of faithful ministry in the Oregon Conference, Dr. Kara Johnsson has announced that she will be transitioning from her position as Oregon Conference Vice President for Administration to a new role leading the department of Philanthropy at Adventist Health at the end of September.

On August 1st, the Sharon and Your Bible Speaks Seventh-day Adventist Church families came together to celebrate the installation of their new lead pastor, Elder Rodney Valentine.

This year’s early June Adventurer Camporee at Gladstone Park took the opportunity to show how Sabbath can be fun, inspiring, and something to look forward to.

A beloved leader recently retired after nearly 20 years of service at Clark County Adventist Community Services. Eleanor Hetke served as a volunteer and eventually as the center’s executive director until her retirement this year –  just before turning 90 years old!

We are so grateful for the years of service and care that Matt Ballard has invested into this church family. Though he has officially retired as Grounds Manager, you’ll still catch him working around Gladstone Park a few days a week. Say hi and thank him for the difference he’s made!
