Brent Georgeson

Brent grew up in Oregon and has strong ties to the state. He has dedicated his life to working with kids, youth and young adults both in his career as a teacher and in his faith. He also lived in Kansas for four years working as a teacher as well as other jobs with kids. Brent finds the unique challenges of working with youth extremely rewarding. Helping people grow and develop both their unique abilities as well as their faith in God also helps him to do the same. Brent enjoys outdoor activities such as frisbee golf, gardening, beekeeping, camping, hiking, rock hounding, bird watching ect.. He also enjoys art such as photography, painting, pottery ect... Brent is excited to see the activities and possibilities for youth happening at Gladstone Adventist church.
Elliott Pevida
       Elliott Pevida has migrated to Portland from a diverse background. He loves pop culture and enjoys finding God revealed in our stories and arts. If he could live anywhere, he'd probably like the planet Saturn, but for now, he puts up with Portland, while hoping to visit Rosario, Argentina. Elliott loves the honesty and uncertainty of youth and youth ministry, because he says "we are a lot less entrenched and a lot more open when we're younger."

The youth team packed bags full of new donated socks and Subway cards to take to the homeless in downtown Portland. We had a great time and made some great connections!
