The Rev. David Hacker serves as Regional Missioner for Between the Ridges, a collaborative of congregations in the landscape defined by the Yakima River Watershed. As a part of his work he serves part time as priest at Christ Episcopal Church in Zillah and St. Michael’s Mission in Yakima, and Executive Director at Noah’s Ark Homeless Shelter in Wapato, on the Yakama Nation. Between the Ridges has sponsored a variety of work in this landscape including Meet Your Farmer, and a Clean Water Project on the Reservation. He also currently does workshops on the Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery around the region. Noah’s Ark, now celebrating its 10th Anniversary, is named for his wife, the Rev Sheri Noah, who passed away in 2007. David has three children who are incredible, wonderful, creative people, and he is now a new grandpa enjoying his first grandchild!
