I was born on 1-25-61 in Erie, Pennsylvania. After moving around many times I finally graduated Highland High School, Pocatello, ID. I joined the Marine Corps in 1979 and served 6 years; honorably discharged in 1983. During this time I received the Holy Ghost and received my call into the ministry. I met and married the love of my life (Vicki Ramsey) in Kennewick, WA, Aug. 1986.
I assisted Bro. Martinez in Grand Prairie, TX for 8 years and received my local license there in 1988.
In 1995 I applied to the Washington District Board for approval to start a Home Missions work in Renton. June 4, 1995 was our first service in the basement of our home. I now currently pastor Renaissance Apostolic Church in Renton.
My wife and I have three children: Kaylene, Cameron and Natalie. Kaylene has been a real blessing to us in helping out wherever she is needed. We're praying that the other two will also, someday, someday soon, be a blessing also.
I don't really have a hobby but I enjoy yard work and golfing. My wife enjoys taking care of me!

Section 4 Presbyter
Rev. Raymond Woodson, Sr.
section4@waupc.net
I was born May 18, 1954, in Glendale, California to 2 wonderful parents, Richard A. Woodson and Marjorie A. Woodson. We remained in California until 1960, when we moved to Burien, Washington. For the next 11 years, we lived throughout Washington State, including Bellevue, Moses Lake, Bridgeport, East Wenatchee, and Spokane. In 1971, my father was transferred to Portland, Oregon, and we relocated in Estacada, Oregon. I graduated from Estacada High School in June 1972, and entered the U.S. Navy on January 5th, 1973. I married my high school sweetheart, Jill Ballou, on August 31, 1974, and we remained in the Navy until I was discharged in December, 1979. I received my Associates in Science Degree from The George Washington University, Washington, D.C. in 1977, and completed the 4-year curriculum of Christian Service Training Institute, San Diego, California, and graduated in 1978.
We were saved in San Diego, California, under the ministry of Rev. David F. Gray, and served in many capacities throughout our ministry at Revival Tabernacle. In June 1980, we became the Pastoral Assistants to Rev. Gray, and remained until we were accepted the pastorate at Vancouver UPC in late December 1982, where we continue to Pastor.
We served as Section One Sunday School Director for the Western District from April 1981 until December 1982. We served as Section 4 Sunday School Director for the Washington District until elected District Sunday School Director in April 1983, and remained in that capacity until April 1993. We were elected District Secretary Treasurer in April 1994, and served until April 2004. We also served as District Prayer Coordinator from November 2005 until November 2006. In March 2007 we were elected to serve as Presbyter to Section 4.
Our children, all born in San Diego, California, include Amy Stoops, Rev. Raymond Woodson, Jr., and Timothy Woodson.
My first love is the ministry, serving as Pastor to the wonderful Saints of Vancouver UPC. When time allows, I enjoy golfing, antiquing, and traveling, and the fellowship of fellow ministers.
