Brian Hardesty

I was born in Bend, OR, and moved to the Portland metro area where I was raised into adulthood. I grew up being somewhat active in the church but did not come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ until my early twenties. I now joyfully proclaim that I am a sinner who has been mercifully saved by the grace of Jesus Christ alone. Jesus Christ snatched me from the grip of the evil one and adopted me as His own child. In the Lord’s sovereign providence, the Lord called me into pastoral ministry in my mid-thirties. By the Lord’s grace, I have been blessed to be the husband of my precious bride Jamie, and the father of five wonderful children. As Paul says in Philippians 1:21 and Galatians 2:20, I gladly proclaim that my life is no longer my own, but that it is Christ’s.
