Some of the Team

Jason Barrett

Pastor

At my rock bottom, I heard the audible voice of God call to me and was enveloped for a perfect moment with a taste of God’s incredible love. It is out of that love that I seek to un-complicate faith, boil it down, and unite a Church that often seems to be fractured from itself and fractured from the communities into which God has planted it.

Nathan Botsford

Worship Leader

Nate has spent most of his life in Oregon.  He knew at a very young age that he was called to lead worship and is very passionate about people experiencing Jesus through worship.  Nate has been a Worship Leader at multiple churches over the last 17 years. He is also pursuing a singer/songwriter career outside of the church.

Paul Botsford

Elder

Paul grew up in Washington state and spent his working years in the semiconductor industry as an Electrical Engineer. He has been enjoying retired life since 2018 (and loving every minute of it). The best part of retirement has been spending more time with his wife, Julie and their 8 children and 9 grandchildren. Paul has been attending Transforming Life Church for 31 years and faithfully serving as an Elder since 2007.

Devin Richardson

Elder

Devin grew up in Pleasant Hill, Oregon and has lived in the Portland area  since graduating from college  20+ years ago.  He works in the financial software industry.  He and his wife, Tami, stay busy with their 4 young children.  Devin enjoys spending time outdoors, sports, coaching his kid's teams and road trips with his family.  He has attended Transforming Life Church since 2012 and has enjoyed the relationships he's built here while growing in God's truth and emotional health.
