Pastor Jeff L. Black

Pastor Jeff & Nydia Black were married on Valentine’s Day 1986 and have six children and two grandsons. The two of them met while serving overseas in the USAF and tied the knot in the picturesque market town of Huntingdon, UK. Heeding the call to the ministry shortly after marriage, Jeff left the Air Force to attend Bible college near Luke AFB in Arizona where Nydia served on her last duty assignment. Working in the business world and raising a large family after college, the two of them spent nearly 18 years at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship in Mesa, Arizona involved in every aspect of lay ministry and leadership. From 2007 until 2011, Jeff worked with two different mission organizations in managerial roles until his assignment into the pastorate through the ministry of Village Missions, Dallas, Oregon. He has been the pastor of Grace Bible Community Church (now Harvest Reformed Baptist Church) in rural Oregon since December 2011
