Get to know us

Matt, Griffey, Amelia, Isaiah, Jenn

We’ve been part of the Happy Valley community since 2013. Jenn and Matt graduated from Portland State University, where Matt also played football from 2006-2010 (Go Viks!). We cherish our friends, our family, the outdoors, eating delicious food, and family movie nights.


Ministry:

Artists and Athletes of Faith is a ministry that works to build resilient identity as children of God and bring the Kingdom of Jesus Christ to our local high school and college communities. We provide faith based servant leadership training by investing in multi-generational relationships which are transformational rather than transactional. This Kingdom-centric discipleship is accomplished through sports conditioning training, campus leadership clubs, student-alumni mentorship programs, Bible studies, team chaplaincies, and sharing meals together.

Thank you so much for your trust and faithful support. Your prayers and financial contributions make you a direct part of this restorative action in our community!
