I remember as a small boy occasionally attending a Catholic church. It was there I became aware that there was a God but never attended regularly or got involved in the goings on of the church. I was never involved in gangs, crime etc. but coming from a broken home found myself an angry young man. I had friends all around me but really didn’t feel as though I fit in anywhere. There was a void in my life and I was aware of it but without any answers or guidance so I continued a life of sin.

All this changed my senior year @ Hollywood high school. I met a guy there who really bothered me. He used to walk around with a jacket that showed he was a part of a really popular club out in the SFV. It wasnt the jacket that bothered me though, it was the huge bible that was in his hands whenever I saw him! It bothered me so much that I asked him to explain himself. What a day that was.

He began telling me about the love of Christ & how he had a plan for my life. I didn't really believe it though, so through a bunch of things that went wrong that evening, I ended up in his church. Little did I know that a few moments later, amidst people I didnt even know, I'd fall on my knees and surrender my Life to God.

Many wonderful things have happened since that day (the biggest being I met my wife in that church), but years passed and we moved to Downey where we had three children, I joined the Los Angeles City Fire Department and I became a competitive bodybuilder. Ultimately I found myself drifting from God. But you already heard that story.


Once that happened I needed no more convincing! With a firm desire to serve God in whichever capacity he would have me, Liz and I were sent out by our Pastors Mike & Donna Neville to pioneer a new church into the City of Fullerton California.

It's been over 20 years since we decided to make that move and we have since then we have seen the hand of God move mightily in our community and are blessed to become a Fellowship of 5 churches. We consider ourselves blessed to be a part of a Fellowship who has a heart for the one – in my case, a proud, confused one who aimlessly got caught up in the things of this world.
