Meet Our Pastors
Jeffery and Joanne Portmann
Jeffery and Joanne were high school sweethearts and are Peninsula kids who moved back to lead the Gateway team in 2024. They have two sons, two daughter-in-loves, and two granddaughters.
You may find them connecting with people in the lobby on Sundays or walking along the Poulsbo waterfront during the week. They love the opportunity to present Hope and develop people.
