Patrick Bowler
Coach
Patrick has been a pastor for more than 25 years and currently serves as the founding and lead pastor of Valley Life Church in Lebanon, Oregon. His ministry experience ranges from youth and worship ministry to pastor and church planter.
Patrick first came to Tin Man in 2018 as a client, in a personal and desperate struggle with shame, suffering from suicidal ideation on the verge of breakdown. His recovery journey began at a Tin Man men’s intensive and continues to this day. As a result, Patrick has a deep passion to serve pastors and to help them thrive in ministry, “[fighting] the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6:12) with their whole heart. Patrick is currently finishing up his second master’s degree in Ministry Leadership and plans to continue pastoring his church as long as God would have him.
Patrick is married to Sarah, and they have five children and four amazing grandchildren. Patrick and Sarah live on a small flower farm in Oregon and enjoy being outside, working on the farm, sitting by a fire, making music, and being with their growing family.
