Our Pastors and Leaders
College-Age Pastors - AJ & Quinn Swoboda
AJ and Quinn serve the College-Age ministry as our Pastors. Their heart is to see college-age people fall in love with Jesus.
AJ grew up in Keizer, Oregon, he moved to Eugene where he attended the University of Oregon and eventually graduated from Eugene Bible College, where he graduated with his wife. Quinn is a native to Eugene, and graduated from South Eugene High School.
AJ holds a Masters Degree in Biblical Studies from George Fox Evangelical Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He has been married to his wife Quinn since July of 2003. They both live in the apartment adjacent to the Onyx House. They live their lives with the people they pastor and serve.
Senior Pastors at Eugene Faith Center - Steve and Tana Overman
Steve came to the Eugene Faith Center staff in 1975 as the college-age pastor while still a student at the University of Oregon. After completing work on a masters degree at Fuller Theological Seminary in 1983, he returned to our staff as Executive Pastor under Roy Hicks, Jr. He then assumed leadership as our Senior Pastor in 1988 when Roy left Eugene to serve as Director of Missions for our denomination. Steve and his wife Tana are the parents of Haley, Shannon and Reid.
This is the team that makes it all happen. Whether it setting up chairs, making lattes, or helping people experience relationship with God, this team does it all. Made up of people such as baristas, cooks, students, or fraternity secretaries, all different walks of life converge to serve God together to make the ministry at the Onyx House a vital part of our community.
