CCCOG ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Second Term, Third Year

Note: Henry will be completing Elder Jenny Bauska’s second term, third year.

I’ve been attending C3 for 10 years, where I’ve served in youth ministry, as an elder, and on the teaching team. I also work with Impact Campus Ministry at Centralia College, where I’m both a student and staff member. Shirley and I have been married for nearly 30 years, and we have 3 children, all 7 years apart, with the youngest being 21. We are blessed with 2 grandchildren. I’ve served as an elder for 3 years and continue to serve on the teaching team. Discipleship and mentoring are central to my heart, and I’m working every day to improve in these areas as I follow Jesus. Outside of ministry, I love soccer I enjoy spending time in the woods, away from everything, as well as being with my family and embracing the joys of being a grandpa.

Second Term, First Year

I am a follower of Jesus Christ, husband, father, and teacher!  I have been a follower of Christ for as long as I can remember.  I grew up in the church and have had the privilege to serve in church and parachurch ministries for almost 30 years.  I have been married to Kelsi for 25 years and we have 4 kids; Makenna 22, Ethan 20, Connor 18, and Soren 15.  I am a WF West High School teacher and have been an ordained pastor with the Church of God for 16 Years.  I am excited to serve on the Elder Board and help provide spiritual leadership for the church.  I love to golf, go backpacking, and travel with my family.  

First Term, First Year

I've been following Jesus since I was 14 years old and have always had a deep desire to be in relationship with Him and to care for others- both within the church and in the community where God has planted me- my neighborhood, workplace, my kids' school, and beyond. My husband Rick and I just celebrated 20 years of marriage and we have two amazing kids, Annie, who is almost 15 and Joe, who is 14.  We have been involved here at CCCOG since early 2022, when we moved to Lewis County after 17 years in the Olympia area.  I love God's people and I've served in many different ways in my "pre C3" past; as a Sunday school teacher, a church administrator, an overseas missionary, a youth leader, a MOPS coordinator, a small group leader and a small group ministry director.  I have a passion to help people grow as followers of Jesus and walk with God in every season of their lives, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to serve the family on mission here at C3. 

Second Term, First Year

I have been a Christian since I was fourteen. I met my wife, Sandy, when I went to Western Seminary in the late 1970s. We married in 1981 after I graduated.. Sandy and I spent 10 years as missionaries to the Philippines. We returned to the U.S. in 1994 and moved to Centralia for my job as a social worker with the State of Washington. I retired from the State in 2020. We have been at C3 since 1997. I have served in various ministries: Youth, adult class teacher, home group leader, Worship Team, etc. I have served on the Elder Board several times since coming to C3. Sandy served as a Sunday School teacher for many years. I am excited to watch what God is doing in and through C3. We enjoy spending time gardening and spending time with our daughter and granddaughter.

Second Term, First Year

I was born in Mexico and raised in Rochester and have been attending CCCOG for seven years now. I live with my beautiful wife, Gaby, of 10 years, and my two daughters (Soleil age 9 and Scarlett age 5), and my son Jack (9mo) in Centralia. You may have seen me up on stage playing the drums with my wife who plays keys and sings. Music is my passion! It is the way I can express myself to God. My favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11. I live by this everyday, even when times get hard. Learning and hearing about all of God’s promises gives me comfort and joy.

First Term, First Year

After moving back to Washington in 2023, my wife, Joy, and I found our church home at CCCOG.  We have enjoyed getting connected to a great church family and small group.  I am also part of the church security team. For work, I serve as the County’s Chief Civil Prosecuting Attorney.  I have a Business Administration degree with Finance concentration from U.W.  In my spare time, I enjoy dirt biking, golf, and spending time with our kids and grandkids.
