Elder Jerry & Rebecca Eichner
Rebecca and I moved to Greenacres in July of 2020 to retire close to our youngest son, Jesse, and his family. We have four children and 11 grandchildren. Rebecca and I were both born in Portland, Oregon. Rebecca’s family were missionaries in Peru, South America. I was raised outside the big town of Boring, Oregon. I was baptized at the age of 12, but recommitted my life to serving the Lord in 1976 while attending a swing shift Bible study at our local church. Rebecca grew up in a Christian home serving God. We attended several churches during my career in the wood products industry. I am officially a sawmill Gypsy, although I did teach elementary education for seven years. After raising our family, Rebecca held several jobs following me around sawmills including medical assistant, florist shop, tax preparer, home health care, and Tree Top. Our church experience includes kids’ Sunday school teacher, Awanas, children’s church, youth groups, youth mentors, and now the cleaning crew at GBC. At the beginning of our marriage our first pastor advised us to find a local Bible believing, Bible teaching church and get involved. So that is what we are doing.
