The two met at Northwest College (now Northwest University) where they received their degrees in Pastoral Ministries and Elementary Education. They have three boys and one daughter-in-law.

Alex & Lacey Gorrod, Youth/Associate PastorPastor Alex earned his degree in Pastoral Studies with a Youth Ministry minor from Eugene Bible College and came on staff at New Life in the fall of 2002 (when he still had hair on his head). His ministry strengths are teaching and relationship building which have produced a solid, consistent youth group. He’s also super organized, which benefits the entire church! He and Lacey married in 2005 and have 2 daughters, Emma and Amy. A quick look at Alex’s office will reveal that he enjoys sci-fi, dinosaurs, video games, and just about anything that’s nerdy. He has a passion for seeing the youth of this community find hope and healing through Jesus. Lacey enjoys baking and works as a playground supervisor at Goldendale Primary School. She desires to see people embrace the love that God has for them.
