As a third generation Pastor, Pastor Tim began as Youth Pastor under his Parents Ministry. Pastor Rhonda began in world evangelism in her youth as part of a team that traveled to Nicaragua, Honduras, and five other Central American countries.

In 1966 Pastor Tim and Pastor Rhonda Bonner Married and began their Ministry. Soon after, they served in their first Pastorate near their hometown in Northern Idaho. They also served as directors of Black Bear youth camp, which reached children from five states for over twenty five years. Pastors are parents to four grown children, and grandparents to six.

In 1968 Pastors Tim and Rhonda felt lead of the Lord to leave their family, and the security of home to begin a new church 500 miles away in Kelso/Longview Washington. One of their first outreaches was to hold vacation bible school for neighborhood children. Some of these children are now staff members in the ministry. We are greatly blessed to have Pastors who are solid, time tested leaders.

In their 45 years of ministry, they have ministered in China, Hong Kong, England, and The Philippines, where they also taught at Miracle Bible College. Pastors have been hosts and guests on "Praise the Lord" at Trinity Broadcasting Network's Portland Oregon affiliate station KNMT. They have also broadcast their own half hour TV series, which aired in Portland, Oregon. Our Pastors have been featured in "Charisma" magazine's: "The Best Pastors in America", and "Gospel Today" magazine's: "World's Most Loved Pastors".
