Tiffany Schwander

Tiffany lives in Oregon with her husband, Mark, and raised twin sons, Jacob and Michael, to love the Lord, grow strong in their faith, and be knowledgeable of His Word so that they would draw near to Him in life's joys and trials. As young adults, Jacob and Michael both served as youth leaders. Michael is on the worship team with Mark. Jacob served on the design, audiovisual, and communications team with Mark. In 2023, Jacob battled a rare form of cancer and went home to be with our Lord. Michael continues to serve with Jacob’s wife, Penelope, in youth ministry and with Mark on the worship team. Mark also serves as a Deacon at Westside.

Tiffany has a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University and has been helping families and professionals for more than 20 years. Tiffany served for three years as an associate teaching director for an international women’s Bible study. In 2018, she started a local women’s ministry with her two dear friends. Tiffany has written encouraging blogs and devotional books. She assists with the editorial content of their Bible studies and books. As a lifelong student of the Bible, Tiffany loves to encourage, counsel, and help others discover God for themselves through His Word. She enjoys moments with friends and family over coffee, good food, and beautiful views. She finds peace in God’s Word and in being in His creation. Tiffany is so thankful to the family of Westside because they came alongside to support the Schwander family during the most difficult time of Jacob’s cancer and passing. She is so grateful to be serving and able to give back in any capacity.
