Cathy Parnell - Children's Ministry Pastor

I was born and raised in sunny California and still love the beach! I came to know Jesus as a child and felt call into ministry during college.  I graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University and found out that I LOVE Children's Ministry.  I was ordained in 2006 on ORPAC District (Oregon).  I have been on staff here at Bend Naz for 14 years.

I love to walk, read, and listen to my favorite band, "Elliot" (of which two of my boys are a part).  I have a passion for kids and families to come to know Jesus, and to grow in their faith walk.  I have three grown sons, and wonderful daughter-in-law, and a grand-dog.
