Restoring Our Communities, One Soul at a Time

Luis Molina
Senior Pastor

I am constantly asking myself these questions: If our church closed its doors tomorrow, would anyone notice? Would anyone miss us? Would the life of anyone be negatively impacted because of our absence? Think about that. Ask yourself, what would happen to our city if our church were no longer here?

My passion is to see the Church multiplied and mobilized to impact and transform our cities and communities. When churches come together centered on one mission, their unity becomes a testimony of God’s power and grace. Jesus prayed that we would be one “so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me” (John 17:23). When we come together, the world will know who Jesus is and what He’s about.

I never planned on being a pastor. I was headed to agriculture engineering in Guatemala when God drafted me into occupational ministry.  From there, I moved to Woodburn, Oregon and was given the opportunity to served with Dave and Nancy Stone in our local Foursquare church in the year 2000. I never planned on living in the US, but for the last 22 years, my life has found purpose simply because someone believed in me and shared the platform to discover what life is all about.

I love my church family, I love my community, and I love its diversity. Woodburn Foursquare Church is not only a place, but a group of people who believe that we’re better together, in one mission: “restoring our communities one soul at a time”, of course in partnership with others.

Kim Arredondo
Executive Pastor

I have attended Woodburn Foursquare Church since 1993. I have been actively involved in ministry during those years, including women’s ministry, auction coordinator, and serving as the Children’s Education Director for ten years. I received my Foursquare License in 2016 and began my position as Executive Pastor.  My role includes filling in for Pastor Luis behind the pulpit and also working with our church leadership to build communication and effective, focused ministries.

My husband, Sabino, and I have three children, Antonio, Diego, and Isabel.  We live south of Canby.  In my free time I enjoy reading and working outside, but most of my time is spent with my family attending their various activities.

Corey Knudson
Youth Pastor

I have served in youth ministry in various capacities since 2006, coming on board at Woodburn Foursquare Church in 2018. I have a passion to introduce young people to the person of Jesus Christ, helping them grow in their faith, discover who they have been created to be, and releasing them to be kingdom workers with a vision to reach their schools and serve the least of these.

My wife Ingrid and I have two boys Gideon, and Justus. If you look hard enough you are sure to find me sipping on iced espresso and reading a good book.

Addy Dumanovsky
Children’s Ministry

 This church has been my home for over 30 years. My family started attending when I was in second grade. Over the years I have served in several different ministries before taking on the role of Children’s Director. I have been married since 1997 and we have been blessed with two boys and two girls. Growing up in the church I have felt as though this is my second home.

My prayer is that every single child that walks through our doors would feel like they are a part of our family.

Eleazar “Chari”(cha-dee) Puente
  Worship Ministry Coordinator

I am married to my beautiful wife Andrea, and a father of two beautiful children, MaKylee and Brooklynn. I grew up in the church in a family of 8 and have been serving in ministry for over 25 years. Worship and Praise has always been a way for me to connect to the heart of God, and my desire is that we can experience that together in a a safe place of worship. It doesn’t matter who you are, or what you’ve done, but that we can come genuinely and freely to experience the love and grace that God has for us each and every day!
