On a Saturday night in April, Oregon Conference president, Dan Linrud, joined a group of around 60 young adults for the second annual “Dinner with Dan” event. The goal? To give young adults a voice and a chance to speak directly to church leadership.

Over the past few months the Oregon Conference has been blessed to welcome several new (and returning) faces to our pastoral team.
