Matthew Holmes
Senior Minister
Matt Holmes has been the Senior Pastor at Turner Christian Church since 2018. He grew up in Spokane Valley, Washington (so he has no opinion on Ducks vs. Beavers!). Before coming here, Matt served as an associate minister in Enterprise, Oregon, where he married his wife Casey. They have a son named James, two daughters named Charley and Maggie, and a dog named Pippin. Matt enjoys reading, running, and playing guitar and ukulele. In ministry he is passionate about teaching people how to read the Bible and Christian unity.
Rachel White
Associate Minister
Rachel joined the TCC team in 2021. Before that she lived in Eugene, Oregon, where she got her start in ministry. She currently attends the University of Aberdeen and is pursuing a degree in Theology. Rachel enjoys tennis, biking, good coffee, and the organized chaos of a teen event. In ministry, Rachel is passionate about church feeling like "home" for kids, teens, and parents. She also loves cultivating intergenerational community, and supporting parents and grandparents in their roles as primary disciplers.
