I grew up in the heart of Tennessee before relocating to Salmon, Idaho in April of 1997, following a time in New Orleans, where I got my Masters of Divinity. I, along with my wife Michelle and son Zeb, quickly fell in love with the natural beauty and outdoor lifestyle of the Salmon Valley. After nearly three decades, I love this church, and I love being involved in church planting and the spread of the Gospel in the Intermountain West! I love hunting, fishing, hiking, and all things outdoors.

I was born and raised in South Carolina. I first met Jesus at the age of 6 during a serious battle with cancer. The Lord first called into ministry my senior year of high school. I hold degrees in Youth Ministry and Bible from Columbia International University. I have been serving in full-time ministry since 2014. Me and my wife Joy have been married since 2018. The Lord called us to the mission field of Salmon Idaho in 2020, and we so excited to see how the Lord is work in this part of the world! I love camping, floating the river, anything to do with guitars, and I’m a nerd for all things Marvel and Star Wars.

My name is Faith Durham, and I have been a part of the Salmon Valley staff for the past year and a half! I originally came to Salmon when I was working with a ministry that traveled all over the US. While my time in Salmon was brief, God showed me how he was working here and impressed on my heart that this was where He wanted me to join him in ministry next. Since then, I have grown to love SVBC and the community of Salmon as a whole. I’m excited to see how God continues to move in this area!

I was born and raised in a loving home with a Catholic background near Denver, Colorado. Some of my job adventures have been a motorcycle mechanic, a heavy equipment operator, and a pipeline welder. Over the years, Jesus sought me out, and I accepted His forgiveness and gave my life to Him in April of 2000. In June of 2000, I married the love of my life, Kim, and we have 6 children and 9 grandchildren. We have served in a variety of ministries at Salmon Valley, and also serve Challis Community Bible Study. I've seen many miracles so far and can't wait to see what He does next!
