 About
Christian Volunteer Experience
Mr. Retzlaff has served on the boards of several churches
representing different denominations including the Evangelical Church
of North America, Presbyterian, Non-denominational community church
and his current Evangelical Covenant Church. He feels blessed to have
been able to serve as an elder in five different congregations. This
exposed him to a variety of church organizations and governing structures.
He has been chairman of the building committees for his last two churches.
At Sunset Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon, he created their first
Building Needs Analysis and Long Range Planning Report. Several years
later he assisted with planting Countryside Community Church. He was
one of the original four leaders, was elected as their first chairman
and organized their first governing body. Later he agreed to co-chair
the building committee to build their first building, which became a
high priority as his church grew.
Mr. Retzlaff’s work encompassed extensive effort in all development
activities including land acquisition, permitting, financing, construction,
two capital campaign drives, home informational meetings, and many hours
developing the Church Growth & Financial Planning Tool to assist
his church with its decisions regarding the building scope and financing.
