Lisa Gray, the one in the middle of the photo, is our able Director of Youth and Education.  As you can see, she has a great connection with youth, but she is much more than "just one of the gang".  She is a graduate of Warner Pacific College in Portland and has been at Zoar since 2001.

Lisa constantly challenges our youth to live and grow in their faith as well as share it with others.  Mission is a big focus for Lisa and thus the youth group.  This year, as in several past years, some youth will be part of the group going to Poland.  Once a month, the group works at the Food Bank in Canby and recently returned from a youth gathering in the San Francisco area where they worked with an inner city program that operates a homeless shelter and also fills many types of needs for area residents.
