Rector

Jeanne loves Jesus, the Gospel of Luke, and the Book of Jonah. She has been a priest since 2019 and active in the Episcopal Church in Oregon for the past 10. She graduated with an MDiv fro the Church Divinity School in the Pacific in 2019, an achievement only possible because of the love and support of her husband, their 3 kids, and 2 dogs. She has a BA in history from Rice University and a MA in Japanese studies from the University of Washington, and worked in Japan after college. Prior to becoming a priest she worked in local government, in the local sportswear industry, and was a full-time stay-at-home parent. She once encountered God when lost in a snowstorm on the grounds of a monastery. She is deeply grateful to God and the people of St. John the Evangelist that she was called to be their rector.

Deacon

Deacon Greg loves proclaiming the Gospel, preaching, bidding the Prayers of the People, leading the Confession of Sin, assisting at the altar, and dismissing us into the world. These are directly tied to his diaconal ministry of both calling on the church to address the needs of the people in the world and of embodying the Church in the community. At St. John the Evangelist, he supports the baptismal ministries of all parishioners and is especially involved with the ministries of the Outreach Committee, Eucharistic Ministers, and Eucharistic Visitors, who support people who are unhoused, hungry, or otherwise marginalized; serve communion during worship; and visit people who are isolated or sick. As a bivocational clergyperson, Greg’s main weekday ministry is as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at a major hospital system, supporting people with cancer and their loved ones. Greg is passionate about social justice and equity, especially relating to trauma, mental health, race, gender, and LGBTQI identities. As a Coast Guard retiree and former Marine, Greg also has a special love for fellow Veterans and their families. Deacon Greg is a graduate of the diocesan Academy for Formation and Mission, and the Education for Ministry program. He holds a MSW and Graduate Certificate in Gerontology from PSU, also an MS in Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University as well as a Command and Staff certificate from the Naval War College.
