Church Staff


Some people call us "staff.” Really, we’re family.

How could we not be? We've worked in close quarters together, faced challenges together,
prayed together, worshipped together, celebrated life passages (birthdays, anniversaries) together, and some have even gone on vacations together (Yosemite, Vegas, Hawaii).

Most importantly, we are all serving together with the common purpose being to
"Multiply Christian Communities To Expand God's Kingdom" in Orange County and beyond!

Regardless of individual job titles, being paid or volunteer, our shared job description is to
empower and equip God's people to seek Him and respond to His call on their lives.

Feel free to contact any staff member directly, or just learn a little more about our stories,
