Jeff Petersen - Elder-in-Training

Jeff was born and raised in Eastern Oregon. He graduated from high school in Burns, Oregon, and went on to earn a BS in Surveying from OIT, and a BS in Biology from Colorado Christian University. In 1980 he married Joanne and they will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this summer (2005). They have two grown daughters, both living in the Portland area.

Jeff has had a relationship with Christ since he was 12 years old, when a visiting Pastor knocked on the door of their family home and introduced the family to Jesus. He enjoys running for relaxation, and through the years has run 15 marathons. Currently, Jeff shares a business with his brother, Petersen Brothers Contracting, and is licensed as a general contractor.

Jeff has an avid interest and passion in the Word of God. He is serving as Elder (of marriage and family) at The Well, and has taught Bible studies and a Marriage class. He is excited to be a part of The Well and is looking forward to working with his brothers and sisters in Christ to further the Gospel message, in his own life, and in the lives of others.
