Sam (Sylvia) Jubinville

Hi! Most of you know me by my nickname Sam, but my real name is after my beautiful Grandma Sylvia. I was raised in Pennsylvania for 22 years and migrated to West Palm Beach, Florida where l lived for 35 years. I enjoyed raising my four children and several animals, lol while working 46 years in the medical field! Because of my job, I moved to Oregon in 1999 and finally retired in Sequim, Washington. I feel so blessed God led me 6 years ago to GCC , and honored to be your custodian.

Becky Isley

Serving at Gardiner Community Church brings me great pleasure and joy. God has blessed me with an early retirement and good health and it gives me opportunity to be a good steward of my time by serving Him and His people.

I’ve been a resident of Gardiner and a member of Gardiner Community Church since 2010. My husband, Don and I enjoy living, playing, and working here. I love gardening, shrimping, crabbing, and pretty much anything outdoors.

Kevin Breckenridge

I moved here in 2018 to be close to my first grandchild from Nashville. I have two sons who still live in Tennessee, but my daughter and her husband moved out here, so here I am too. I continually enjoy being at GCC and all of the people I have come to know.

I have been singing in church almost all of my life. My parents were Pastors for many years, so as a PK (Pastor's Kid) we were sometimes the only vocalists in the church. I began leading Worship in my late 20's and have been doing so for over 35 years, and I am looking forward to 35 more.

Pastor Caleb Smith

I’m originally from New Zealand, though spent eight years in South Africa before moving to the United States. While in South Africa, I was involved in poverty alleviation work before being called into pastoral ministry. Since 2018, it’s been a real privilege to serve as Pastor here at GCC. Before coming to Washington, I ministered at a Baptist church in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, where I was ordained through the American Baptist Churches. I completed my Master of Divinity at Northern Seminary in Chicago and later earned a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation, from Tyndale University in Toronto, Canada. I especially love ministering in the areas of spiritual formation, preaching, and rural church ministry.

Outside of ministry, I enjoy time with my wife, Janine, and our daughter, Abigail. Janine grew up in South Africa and serves our church and local community as a pastor’s wife, chiropractor, and also volunteers at a nearby alpaca rescue. As a family, we love life on our small homestead with four alpacas, a sheep and two dogs. We also enjoy exploring God’s creation, taking day trips around beautiful Washington, and spending time with our church family and friends.
