SHANE OEHLER

HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRY DIRECTOR

Shane Oehler grew up in Salem, Oregon, and moved to the Flathead Valley in 2021 with his wife Rebekah, and their then 6-month-old daughter Selah. Shane had visited Kalispell in college and knew he would find his way back to the Treasure State. Shane and Rebekah met at a Leadership Retreat at Camp Tapawingo, a church camp that Shane had attended since he was in second grade, and they married in 2019. 

Shane graduated from George Fox University with a B.A. in Christian Ministries, a dual focus in Youth and Educational Ministry, and a Minor in Biblical Studies. Shane worked for Camp Tapawingo immediately following graduation from George Fox and then worked in Youth Corrections and Youth Behavioral Health Programs before coming to Easthaven to serve as the Director of High School Ministry. 

Since being in Montana, Shane and Rebekah have had a second daughter, Rayne, and are praying their family continues to grow. Besides his faith and family, Shane is also passionate about bowhunting and the outdoors. If you have a hunting story to tell, he'd love to hear it!

Shane's prayer for the high schoolers at Easthaven is that they will gain a deeper understanding of who they are, who God is, and how they are called to live in the world because of those truths.
