About the Vancouver Multistake Committee

On 31 October 2006, the First Presidency asked Area Seventies “to work with stake presidents to establish committees for multistake young single adult activities where practicable.” To that end, the North America Northwest Area Presidency has worked with stake presidents in Western Oregon and Vancouver, Washington to create multistake committees.

The Vancouver Multistake Committee is presided over by President Bryan Erickson, 1st counselor in the Vancouver North Stake Presidency. The Committee is used to plan activities for young single adults in the Longview, Vancouver, Vancouver East, Vancouver North, and the Vancouver West Stake. Included within the Committee is the Clark Singles Ward, which is part of Vancouver Stake. The initial committee meeting was held in Spring 2007.

Ken Allen (West Stake) and Arianne Owens (Clark Ward) are the YSA chairpersons for the committee.  If you wish to contact the Vancouver Multistake YSA Committee, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Elder Brinkerhoff, Area Seventy, has encouraged each of the multistake committees to work together to ensure that all YSAs within Western Oregon & Southwest Washington are aware of the many significant activities being planned by the various committees.

Note: As part of the directive from the First Presidency, permission was granted for multistake committees to publish simple websites to foster awareness of multistake YSA activities.
