Russ & Linda Richardson

Russ and Linda Richardson recently retired after working with  Sauvie Island Community Church on Sauvie Island near Portland, Oregon, since 2001 and at Clover Valley Community Church for thirteen years prior to that. They have served with Village Missions for forty-six years.

The ministry of Village Missions is to encourage the development of local churches in small communities where there is no evangelical presence. Russ and Linda began serving at Village Missions in 1976.  Sauvie Island Community Church is the only church on the island with an average attendance of seventy-six each Sunday.
