LEADERSHIP

JP married his high school sweetheart, Stephanie, in 2006, and they are the proud parents of two beautiful, intelligent, and precious daughters, Shaelyn and Elise. JP graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a degree in Christian Ministries in 2006 and after serving at a church in LA County for 12 years, he became the Senior Pastor at Pomerado Christian Church in 2018. His desire is to decrease in every area of his life so that God can increase (John 3:30) and to build God’s Kingdom by showing people the love, life, and hope found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ. He loves to geocache, follow Bay Area sports, go out to eat, and read (but not always in that order).
