Leadership

Pastors & Staff

Meet the team.

Our leadership team consists of men and women devoted to God’s purposes in growing an intimate relationship with God,
allowing Jesus to live through us – simply put we are disciples seeking to make other disciples.

We seek to live our lives in such a way that our authentic self comes through rather than judging or shaming.  
We seek to meet people where they are and building them up in this most holy faith.

Stuart Boyer

Lead Pastor

Stuart Boyer is the lead pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Eastern Oregon. Stuart remains fully devoted toward Christian ministry advancing educational and practical life opportunities toward the goal of forming disciples that make other disciples, presenting every person complete in Christ Jesus. Pastor Boyer’s greatest joy as a Christian remains leading, discipling, mentoring, and coaching people toward learning transformational spiritual truths, and connecting them in lifestyle, embracing their spiritual gifts and calling, toward the betterment of communities, which glorify God. This remains Stuart’s experience and pattern—evaluating, discovering, and effectively implementing solutions for differing and unique needs for persons within distinct cultures, and backgrounds, helping each person reveal Jesus to others through their lives.

Dr. Boyer is adjunct professor at Horizon University USA; and adjunct professor for Calvary Chapel Bible College. Stuart is a graduate of Calvary Chapel Bible College, Horizon College of San Diego, Azusa Pacific University, and Luther Rice University and Regent University—and is the author of Biblical Leadership Development: Principles for Developing Organizational Leaders at Every Level, and a contributing author to other books focusing on Christian life and discipleship.

Stuart and Rosalie Luna married in 2010. Since then, our family has grown, and we now have four daughters (5 if we include our dog named Tiggy). Our oldest is Adaya, next is Ambriella, our third is our daughter Amiah, and Annika is our fourth daughter. Yes, we are one of those families, all our daughter’s names start with “A’s,” but all their names have significant meanings and were carefully picked out (God’s jewel, precious jewel, beloved, favored one). Our family loves being outdoors (yard work/gardening, picnics, hiking, playing), long drives exploring, and playing in the snow making snowmen, drinking hot cocoa, and sledding. You will not only see horses, cowgirl boots and hats, mermaids, unicorns, rainbows, and sparkles all around our home, but you will find lots of art work, pictures, dancing and singing to worship music, and lots of books, especially about Jesus.

Eric 

Worship Director

Hi, this is Eric.  I’m so glad you’re here today.  Here is a bit about me.  I was raised in Gresham, OR.  In 1992 I married my beautiful wife, Kristine; we hold hands constantly still!  In 1997 I suffered complete kidney failure.  In 1998 my wife donated a kidney to me.  It lasted 23.5 years and in 2021 I went back on dialysis.  We do home hemodialysis 5 days a week.  In 2023 I had a cardiac tamponade and almost went to see my Savior.  I feel exceedingly blessed to be here and very thankful to be able to praise the Lord in worship. After many years of prayer, in 2006 our precious son Noah was born.  We have a fantastic worship team and my son Noah takes part in it as a Djembe drummer. I have been helping with the audio/video aspect of our church for 10 years.  In 2023, I was asked to become the church’s Worship Team Leader. I feel thrilled to be able to use the gifts our Lord and Savior gave me to praise His name. I would sincerely appreciate helping you praise His name too, feel free to check us out. Thank You for taking the time to read about FBC.

Kelsi Swingle

Childrens Director

I was born and raised in Burns Oregon. After high school I left to get a bachelor degree in business and marketing. I met my husband, Andy, in Portland. We were married in August of 2009 in the church that we attended after college. July 2012 our daughter Mackenzie was born. August 2015 our son Luke was born. We moved around frequently and I've had a fun variety of jobs. Most recently I was a preschool teacher for the early childhood center here in Burns. We moved to Burns in August 2016 and have been attending Faith Baptist Church since January 2017. I've always tried to get involved with my past church's children's ministries, usually nursery and preschool age. I love the opportunity to be serving FBC children through Kids Church.
