PBC Leadership and Staff

Keith
DeHart

Elder

I grew up in the Hood River Valley in Oregon and have been a part of PBC since 2007 when my family moved to the Prairie City area. I have been married to my best friend, Alaina, since 2006. We have three kids of our own and also have opened our home to fostering kids and youth. Our home is busy with life, noise, and love. Some of our favorite pastimes are river rafting, camping, playing board games, and getting together with family and friends. I have been a Christ-follower since I was about 10-years-old. Since then, I've been involved in, have helped with, or have led various ministries. Understanding the Bible and seeking to understand its unified story that points to Jesus has always been an interest of mine. I love teaching and seeing the moments in people's lives when a connection is made between God's word and their life--when people have that "ah-ha" moment of understanding and life-change as a result of God's word at work.

Hoeffner

Elder

​

I was born in Corvallis, Oregon, but grew up in Eugene where I met my wife, Jannet. We moved to Portland where I graduated from Multnomah Bible College. We have three children and two grandchildren. Our youngest son, Josiah, lives with us and keeps us constantly entertained. My background before entering the ministry was in construction. I have served PBC for over 26 years and have been in ministry for over 34. For the past three years, I have also been an interim pastor for churches who are in a pastoral transition. I enjoy riding my motorcycle in the wide open spaces of southeastern Oregon and snowshoeing in the Strawberry Mountains in the winter.
