Who We Are
We are a Foursquare Church serving in Coos Bay, Oregon serving Coos Bay, North Bend and surrounding areas. We see the Church as a family - a place that you can belong to. This community of believers is a place to worship, to learn, to grow, to fail, and to be supported as we all continue our apprenticeship to Jesus. In short, we exist to help people FIND and FOLLOW Jesus!
Staff
Brenda Swank // Admin + Youth
I’m Brenda and I’m a Jesus lovin’ wife and mom of 4. I have served here at BA4 as a co-youth pastor with my husband since 2015, and the office administrator since September of 2022. My heart for reaching the youth of this community started in the mid 90’s while walking the halls of a local high school and being surrounded by broken and depressed teenagers searching for belonging. I have been involved in youth ministry off and on ever since. I’m a country girl to the core, love photography, and any and all activities that involve being with my family: camping, rafting, riding ATV’s, sports, fun game nights and cozy movie nights.
Jeff Swank // Interim Team Lead
I’m Jeff Swank, husband and father of 4, and I have been the youth pastor here at BAFC since 2015, serving our young people alongside my wife. In this season of waiting on the Lord for a new lead pastor, I love that we have a great team with a passion to see more people find and follow Jesus in Coos County. I have been serving Jesus for a long time, and continue to be in awe of His faithfulness to His body and bride. I was born and raised in North Bend, I love the community and all that it has to offer. One of my passions is riding ATV’s in the dunes and I love hunting and generally being in the outdoors as well.
