Meet the Local Committee
Tina Grimes – Chair/Treasurer
Tina joined our Local Committee in the Fall 2022 and officially took on the role of Treasurer beginning January 2023. She has also been the interim Chair in addition to the Treasurer for much of that time. In her day job she is the CEO of the Rogue Valley Association of REALTORS and Southern Oregon Multiple Listing Service. She loves being able to use her experience in business and accounting for the Lord. She has also mentored children and teens in multiple ministries for almost 30 years.
Miette Cunningham – Secretary
Travis Morgan – Member
Travis is a born and raised Native Oregonian. However in his young adult years, he found his way to Texas where he met his wife Clemencia. After 20 years in Texas, he returned home to southern Oregon. He began volunteering at a local Good News Club in 2024 with the intention of just being a short term helper. But after seeing the amazing opportunity of proclaiming the Gospel and pointing kids to Jesús he realized that volunteering in the Good News Club is a real way to live out the great commission in a way that reaches kids that might not otherwise hear the Gospel message. When learning of needs in the local committee, he decided to volunteer here as well. When he’s not at Good News Club, the local church, or working in his general contracting business, Travis could likely be found building something at home, working in the garden, taking care of their bees, or just hanging out with the kids and grandkids.
Tracy Van Hee – Member
I was born and raised in Kent, Washington, the youngest of three children in a non-believing home. I became a Christian as a high school senior March 5, 1978 after the faithful witness of a classmate. I joined the Navy in August 1978 and quickly began growing in my faith and my walk with Jesus matured rapidly. By 1980 I was the director of Midway Christian Fellowship, which had a membership of approximately 50 sailors. Upon discharge, I attended Bible college one year at Columbia Bible College (South Carolina). My wife and I married in 1985 and we raised three children. We now have four grandchildren. After 12 years working in the Seattle area I received an offer to work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Lost Creek dam. Our family moved from Covington, WA to Eagle Point, OR in 1997 and we raised our children in Eagle Point Community Bible church. I taught Bible Story time for children in Eagle Point, taught Sunday school for adults and children and served as an elder for about 20 years. Lorna (my wife) and I finished up our working years in The Dalles, OR for five years. We now live in Southern Oregon and serve on the Local Committee of CEF.
Lorna Van Hee – Member
I grew up in a Christian home and made a decision for Christ at an early age. My husband and I are the parents of 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. We moved to Southern Oregon in 1997 and raised our children in Eagle Point, OR. We moved to The Dalles in 2018. I began working at CEF in 2019 as an office manager. I had known of CEF for many years, as my mother was a Good News Club teacher. Working with CEF has allowed me to see the great work they do with CYIA, GNC, JYC, and 5-day clubs. When we retired and moved back to this area we made contact with the local CEF office and became Board Members. We look forward to helping the local CEF team in this capacity.
