Colin Luoma
Corvallis Site Pastor
I grew up in a Godly home my entire life and learned who Jesus was through my parents. I spent my upbringing in what seemed like a perfect and polished mega church but sadly only knew a lot about Jesus, but didn't know him personally. It wasn't until I came to college at the University of Idaho and got connected to our church in 2010 where I truly understood the Gospel--that I'm more sinful than I could ever imagine, but more loved in Christ than I could ever dare hope.
All throughout college it felt like God was pulling me towards a life of risk and ministry. That led me to graduate in 2014 and move to help start our very first site outside of the Palouse in Ellensburg, WA. I joined Resonate's staff and experienced first hand pioneering a thriving church on the campus of Central Washington University with my best friends. It was in Ellensburg where I re-met my now wife, Jessi. We had grown up together, but God crossed our paths again in Ellensburg. It soon came Ellensburg's time to plant and I was up!
In 2017 I married my best friend and we packed up our lives and moved to Monmouth, Oregon to plant a church on the campus of Western Oregon University. I served as the site pastor in Monmouth for four years and it was incredible to see God move there. In 2021 we picked up our lives once again to plant another church in Corvallis, Oregon home of Oregon State University. Today we are living and loving it in Corvallis where we like to surf, drink coffee, and hang out with our dog Margo. Come visit us!
