Thank you for
choosing to discover more about us!
We are Phil and
Lynette Strong. We arrived in Plain from Houston, Texas in November of 2005. I
(Phil) was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and my wife, Lynette, was born in
Bellingham, Washington, but spent most her life in Iowa.
Lynette and I met
in Des Moines, Iowa in 1982 and were married in Dayton, Ohio on July 30, 1983.
We were blessed with the birth of our son Austin in 1985 and our daughter Erin
in 1987. Austin lives in Texas, while Erin now lives in Cashmere but often
visits us at the parsonage in Plain. |
We have been in
vocational ministry since 1990. Beginning in 1990, we served as Youth Pastor at
First Church of the Open Bible in Dayton, Ohio. In 1993, we accepted the
invitation of Harvest Christian Fellowship (Cambridge, Ohio) to serve as Senior
Pastor. We served the congregation at H.C.F. until 1999 when we accepted yet
another invitation to serve as the Lead Pastor of Heritage Christian Church in
Toledo, Ohio. We were privileged to serve the congregation at H.C.C. until
2004 when we relocated to Houston, Texas.
In November of
2005, we accepted the invitation of the family at Plain Community Church to
serve as their Pastor. Our transition to the Plain valley proved to be
relatively easy thanks in great part to the hospitality and welcome of the
church and community.

I (Phil) enjoy
numerous outdoor activities (horseback riding, bicycling, hiking and golf), college
basketball (University of Kentucky Wildcats!) and Minor League baseball
(especially the Toledo Mud Hens). Lynette also enjoys various outdoor
activities (walking, biking, gardening and golf) as well as landscaping, floral
design and decorating. We both enjoy a good cup of coffee, smooth jazz,
Lebanese food (if you know where we can get some, please email us!) and riding
our motorcycle together through the beautiful Cascade Mountain region!
We are pleased
that we can be here to serve you as we journey toward God together!
