Church Leadership

Our calling is being carried out through a dedicated pursuit of the presence of God in all we do. We pray, preach, equip and love others from the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Our desire is to always be growing in fruitfulness and influence for His Kingdom as, together, we discover more completely what it is to believe and follow Jesus.

Hey! We’re Talan and Hanna Warden and we love serving our community. Youth ministries is a way of life for us because we’re raising 6 kids of our own!  We’ve been married for 16 years. Talan owns & runs a construction company, and Hanna is a full time mom and homeschool teacher.  We have a passion to help families thrive.

My life has been blessed with the ability to serve as an educator for my profession and as a ministry. In my many years in education, I have worked as an elementary classroom teacher, building principal, Sunday School teacher, and currently the Director of Clinical Practice at George Fox University.  Please contact me if you would like to participate in the blessing of children's ministries.

I have worked in Children's Ministry teaching Sunday School, helping with youth group, and now serving in the church nursery. I have a heart to serve parents by caring for their babies and toddlers, while sharing the love of Jesus with them. If you would like to help with this ministry please contact me.

I have been a bookkeeper for over 38 years.  I love numbers and puzzles because they are absolute.  There is always a right answer.  Our God is absolutely faithful, kind, gracious, loving and His love never fails!  I am thankful and blessed. 

I am a stay at home wife and homeschooling mom to three kids. We love to travel and take our family on adventures to see new places. I love to host and make people feel welcome and at home. My heart is for worship and bringing people into his presence. I have been so blessed by the environment here at NW Harvest, it truly has made a difference in my life.  I hope you will come visit us!

I feel most happy when I a serve my Creator and the Church.  The Lord is teaching me to recognize His voice and follow His words.  I am excited most when I see what God is doing and get to be part of His plans.

I had the opportunity to grow up in this church and it has had a huge part of shaping who I am today. I am passionate about helping others know God in a deeper way, and building connections so they can feel seen and loved.
