Dan joined the staff in 2022 and serves as our Lead Pastor. As a native of Sacramento he developed his leadership strategy while studying for a Bachelor degree in Christian Leadership from William Jessup University. Additionally, he is currently enrolled in the Masters In Theology program at Gateway Seminary. Together with his beautiful wife, Liz, they manage to wrangle their three healthy and energetic children, Boaz (6), Benjamin (3), and brand new baby girl Rebekah, while maintaining a balanced life of service and compassion. Dan is an avid world history connoisseur, and is captivated by all things Star Wars—even sneaking in a little Disney+ time to binge watch a few episodes of whatever the newest show is. Finally, Dan is a devoted San Francisco 49ers fan, and is crushed by the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime during the 2024 Superbowl. Dan's greatest desire is to see people come and have a saving relationship with Jesus and then learn to serve the Lord in whatever capacity. Bringing praise and Glory to the one who deserves it!

Joining us in 2024, Adriana is part of our 'Healthy Family Initiative' to promote environments that lead to healthy family structure. 

Studying at Biola University to be an elementary school teacher, Adriana discovered that the topic she loves to teach the most is the Bible. Transferring her program to William Jessup University she completed her degree in Biblical and Theological Studies and connected her love for teaching the Bible with her love for teaching children. Her hope for Kids Ministry is to provide a space where kids know that they are known and loved for who they are by the volunteers but most importantly, by the Creator of everything – He loves them more than words can say. Kids Ministry’s goal is to partner with parents to help kids grow their own faith and become disciples of Jesus.

In any free time, you can find Adriana in a plant store adding to her large collection of houseplants, hanging out with her people (usually getting Dutch Bros), or binging documentaries on anything and everything.”
