Pastor Rich
Pastor Rich was raised in Spokane, WA and began attending Bethel Church of the Nazarene with his mother and siblings at age five. He gave his life to Christ at age seven. At an early age his dreams were filled with visions of the future. At age fifteen while praying about a career, God revealed to Rich that he was to go into ministry. Since ministry wasn’t on his list of careers, Rich put it on the back burner for a few years. In his twenties Rich confirmed his call into ministry. Rich met Andrea because their mothers worked together. They were married in August 1997. Rich and Andrea have three children, Kenzie Emerson (Nathan), Bailee, and Johnathan and one grandson named Brock. In 2003 Rich and Andrea moved their family from Spokane, WA to Colorado Springs, CO so that Rich could complete his degree at Nazarene Bible College. Rich graduated in 2012 with a degree in Pastoral Ministry. He was ordained as an Elder in the Church of the Nazarene in 2015 on the Rocky Mountain District. Rich has served as the Senior Pastor at Lincoln Park Church in Canon City, CO from 2012 until 2015 and as Senior Pastor at Green River Church of the Nazarene in Green River, WY from 2015 until 2019. In 2019 Rich and Andrea moved to Colville, WA to be closer to family. He is the Associate Pastor at Colville Church of the Nazarene.
