Les and Jaclyn Manthe moved to Olalla to be a support to their parents. They attended CLC’s All Church Picnic in 2009 and found a new home in Christian Life Center. Both have been in support roles in ministry for many years finding the greatest fulfillment while believing in and equipping ministries in the pursuit of their visions.
Les studied at Bethany University and completed his Certification as a minister with the Assemblies of God through Berean Studies in 1988. In the middle 1990s he felt called to be an “armor-bearer” to youth pastors in whom he saw the desire to be “fathers to the fatherless.” He is currently retracing his steps to become a licensed and ordained minister with the Assemblies of God.
Jaclyn has been serving in ministry since 1998. She was then a part of a dynamic team of leaders supporting her youth and college pastors. She went on to become an administrative assistant and volunteer leader of youth, men’s, and women’s ministries. From there she was promoted to the role of HR/Payroll assistant, business office manager, and then to office manager and executive assistant.
In all the roles, with all the titles, she remained an individual serving to see the Kingdom of God furthered.
Together, they continue to believe in and support the visions God has given the men and women of God here at Christian Life Center.
They have three children, who are all in their 20s now and continue to inspire them to be examples of God’s love and purpose.
