Naomi Federiuk

Director of Discipleship Training

READ BIO

Naomi is a compassionate leader and storyteller, driven by a love for Jesus and a passion for helping, protecting, and advocating for the most vulnerable. From a young age, she loved hunting for treasure and building forts—discovering hidden things and gathering resources to create something lasting with others. That same curiosity and drive to build together shapes her work today.

As Director of Discipleship Training, Naomi serves pastors, ministry leaders, and teams through life and leadership coaching, mentoring, and training, walking alongside them as they develop their teams, ministries, and communities. She also supports refugee families through Relife NW, helping them adjust, find stability, and build new lives in the U.S.

Naomi lives in Tigard, Oregon with her husband, two children, and their rambunctious Boston Terrier, Opal. She loves nature and spends her free time walking, hiking, or tending her garden.

Wilson Parrish

Wilson’s passion to come alongside, befriend, and prayerfully support pastors grows from his own twenty-five years in church ministry.  He served as a college pastor for a total of fifteen years, and then as a church planter for ten years. Most of those last ten years overlapped his present career as a law enforcement chaplain which began in December of 2010.  Wilson has a Masters in Ministry from Pepperdine University, and is certified as a Master Chaplain by the International Conference of Police Chaplains (ICPC).  He has been married to Kristen, a first grade teacher, since 1994.  Kristen and Wilson are presently members of Northwest Christian Church.  They have two amazing, Christ-following adult children and one equally amazing son-in-law.

Born in Tokyo, Japan and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Sean moved to Orange Country, California where he was introduced to Jesus as a teenager. Having his path radically altered by the life-changing hope of Jesus, he made the decision to attend Hope International University, where he earned a BA in Biblical Studies and Church Growth.

Sean served for ten years as a student ministry pastor in both Northridge, California and Tigard, Oregon. In 2004, Sean and Angel planted a church with Expand Northwest where he served as the lead pastor for ten years. Sean has been the Executive Director for Expand Northwest since 2011.

Sean and his family live in Tigard, Oregon. He enjoys a strong cup of bold roast coffee, a good day of surf at the Oregon coast, and spending quality time with his family. His passion is to see Jesus Christ exalted and the kingdom of God expanded through encouraging and equipping of God’s people.
