A young couple, who decided to "go it together" in marriage and in their faith, have taken their commitment to each other and to God a step further. Brent and Jennifer Waldrep, both 25, of the Portland area, have been called to lead a fairly new ministry in Heppner-the Willow Creek Baptist Church. Brent, who will be the pastor at the church, grew up in New Boston, Texas, a town o f 6,000 in the northeast comer of the state where his parents still reside. He graduated from high school there and then attended college at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He received a bachelor of business administration degree in finance. He then moved to Portland where he became employed with Baptist Student Ministries and worked as a Baptist student minister at Portland State University. He has a sister who graduated from the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, has a pilot slot and will be learning to fly. Jennifer is originally from the Northwest, living in Washington, Oregon and Alberta, Canada. Her father lives in Gresham and she has a sister, who has two little boys, who lives in Richland. Jennifer has a degree in general studies from PSU. Brent and Jennifer met while he was a minister at PSU and she was a student. The two became involved in many of the same activities. Jennifer, who was working as a bank teller and an on-call mental health worker in addition to her studies, had intended to show Brent around Portland, but didn't have a lot of time. Finally, she took him on a tour of Portland art galleries and from then on they began seeing each other. He often accompanied her on her mental health job, especially on visits to the more dangerous areas of town. Brent had planned to return to Texas, but because of their growing relationship, postponed his return. He got them both a job at a Boy Scout summer camp, he as the chaplain and she as the rock climbing instructor. The two, realizing they had many of the same valves andgoal^, fell in 1 love and were married Dec. «28, 1996. The couple lived in an apartment below an assisted living center and both were employed providing m-home health care. Brent also worked odd jobs and was employed with UPS. During this time, they were also very involved in their church, the Greater Gresham Baptist Church. Keith Evans, the pastor there, worked with Brent in a mentoring relationship and worship pastor, Charlie Chnsman, worked with Jennifer in a similar situation. The pair decided to attend seminary and enrolled at the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary at Vancouver, where they are still students in the process of getting their master's degrees. Brent heard about the Heppner church through Gary Benfield, director of missions for the Baptist churches, whom he met at a conference in Portland, Pastor Benfield, who lives in the Tri-Cities, had been coming to Heppner to preach at the Willow Creek Baptist Church each Sunday afternoon and invited Brent to preach here. The Waldreps began coming to Heppner on weekends to preach in March and decided to accept the Heppner ministry, moving here three weeks ago. "Heppner is refreshing, said Brent. "People are very nice and I don't miss the five o'clock traffic either." "You have something special here," added Jennifer. "We're glad we're a part of it." Although the couple are still in the process of moving in and still commute to attend seminary Mondays and Tuesdays of each week, they "hope to continue building a church that serves the community of Heppner and is relevant to the lives of people," said Brent. "Church is not just a Sunday service, bui a group of people who celebrate and C a respond to what God is doing in their lives." Willow Creek Baptist Church now meets in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
