ROD STAFFORD / LEAD PASTOR
Rod has served as Lead Pastor at Portland Mennonite Church since 1999. He went to Seminary not planning to be a Mennonite or a minister, but the Spirit works in its own way.

He has served churches in Pasadena, California and Lawrence, Kansas. Rod and his wife Molly have two daughters, Julia and Laura, and live in NE Portland. Rod likes to ride bike, eat good food, hike in the mountains, and do the Sunday crossword with Molly.
