Pastors Jason and Hannah Gillick
Pastors Jason & Hannah burn with the heart of revival. They are passionate for the Kingdom, & for the Glory of God to be abundantly manifest in and throughout every believer's life. As founders of the River Northwest Church, they are devoted to seeing the members of this congregation living the life of fire, healthy in every way, growing to maturity in their personal relationships with God & each other, exercising their gifts, & rising up to their full potential. Consumed with the call of God & the Heavenly mandate, their greatest quest is living, manifesting & overflowing the Love of God, & leading others to do the same. They are both teachers & preachers of the Word of God. 
Jason & Hannah both have Bachelors Degrees in Theology & are graduates of The River Bible Institute in Tampa, FL. It was there that they received much of their ministry training under Drs. Rodney & Adonica Howard-Browne & the staff of Revival Ministries International. A great privilege of Jason & Hannah's life was working for The River at Tampa Bay Church in various departments, & being ordained as pastors during a hurricane. They also traveled on the road team for Pastors Rodney & Adonica throughout the United States & in Canada. 
God brought Jason & Hannah together as teens. They were first close friends, then fell in love, & got married in 1999. Their first ministry is their home & their four sons, Ezekiel (wife Eve), Skyler, Easton & J.J. It has been their greatest joy to raise & disciple their men of God in the Kingdom. Jason is involved as a coach with many of their sports & Hannah both home-schools & volunteers in their classes when they are in school. 
Jason & Hannah not only have a heart for Kitsap County, but for traveling the US & the nations, spreading the fire, preaching with passion, winning souls, & doing crusade & missions work. They have ministered throughout the US & in Romania, Switzerland, Africa, Dominican Republic, Mexico & Brazil.
