The Hanna's

I'm from Denver, Colorado and grew up attending the Westminster Church of the Nazarene. When I was just a little boy, God called me to be a pastor. I attended college at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho and had four great years there. Four days after graduating from college, I married Renee on June 16, 1994 just outside of Santa Cruz, California. We then headed to Kansas City where I received the Master's of Divinity degree at Nazarene Theological Seminary. My first church was the South Broadway Church of the Nazarene in Boulder, Colorado where I was fortunate to be pastor to some of the most wonderful people. I was ordained an Elder in the Church of the Nazarene July 2000 on the Colorado District by Dr. Jim Bond, General Superintendent. There I began my doctoral studies at Denver Seminary where I received my doctorate in ministry in 2008. On July 23, 2001 the Lord blessed us with Caleb and on November 9, 2005 the Lord also blessed with Micah, the two greatest boys in the entire world (I love being their dad)! In April 2002 we moved to Springfield, Oregon to pastor the Springfield First Church of the Nazarene where God is shaping us to be a congregation who glorify Him. I am a Denver Broncos fan as well as a 2 time Fantasty Football League Champion (2003 and 2005). Every summer we look forward to camping, fishing and hiking with friends and family! Most importantly, I am the undisputed wrestling champion of the Hanna family!

Renee was born in Casper, Wyoming and grew up an officer’s kid in the Salvation Army. She graduated from MidAmerica Nazarene University with a degree in Business Administration and also has a MBA from Regis University in Denver (she's as smart as she is beautiful). She has two brothers and two sisters. Renee unfortunately is a Kansas City Chiefs fan but makes up for it by cooking great meals so I don't complain much unless the Chiefs beat the Broncos. She also enjoys quilting, cooking and traveling.

Caleb is a 3rd grader and is an excellent kid! He's always helping at home or at church. He's already picking up fun hobbies such as wood working and collecting license plates from different states. He loves to play with his cars and trucks, wrestle, go swimming and watch/play football with dad and help make dinner and crafts with mom.

Micah is almost 4 years old and is absolutely amazing! He is so full of life, energy, creativity. He is the cutest, most incredible little guy! Walk up to him and ask him to give you a fist bump!
