Pastor Aaron Veach
Dr. Aaron Veach was born in Portland and raised in Roseburg, Oregon. After serving four years in the Navy, he enrolled in community college to pursue a degree in Forestry. But God had other plans. After a year of study, he transferred to Northwest Christian College in Eugene, OR (now Bushnell University) and began preparing for ministry as a Pastor.

Following college, he served two years as an Associate Pastor in Texas before enrolling at Emmanuel Christian Seminary of Milligan College in Johnson City, Tennessee where he earned a Master of Divinity in Honors.

Upon graduation from seminary, he moved his family back to Oregon where he served as the Pastor of the First Christian Church in Mill City, Oregon for over ten years. While there, he began pursuing a Doctor of Ministry degree from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA. This was completed during a three-year ministry in Portland. He was then called to a thirteen-year ministry in Central Point, Oregon before he began serving the Gold Hill Christian Church in June 2015.

Alongside him throughout all these experiences has been his wonderful wife whom he married in 1974. In every church they have served, she has offered her gifts of music and teaching to help people understand who Jesus is and how much He loves them. She has published a Bible Study for women entitled Beautiful You! (Inside and Out!) which focuses on the Book of Esther in the Old Testament.

Aaron and Lisa Veach have two sons, one daughter-in-law, and three wonderful granddaughters. All live in the Rogue Valley area and the family gets to spend time together laughing, sharing, and enjoying life.
