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).

Thomas is married to Michelle and they have three boys, Nathaniel, Jackson and Lukas. In his role as Director of Worship and Media, Thomas is responsible for overseeing the worship and tech ministries as well as creating video, graphic, and web content for PCC. His desire is to see people engaged and drawn to a deeper relationship with Christ so that they can make a difference for His Kingdom. He loves spending time with his family, making music and going to Legoland!

Kerrie is married to Bill (who serves on the worship team). In her role as administrative assistant, she helps organize the office and assists staff with managing projects. She also helps with the women’s ministry and is passionate about discipleship and helping people grow deeper in love with the Lord. She loves connecting with others and talking about the Lord over a warm cup of tea. One of her favorite things to do is listen to Bill play worship music (and sing along as loud as she can)!

Trevor is married to Siobhan and has three young kiddos – Grace, Kai, and Cooper – with a fourth one due Thanksgiving week. Trev is the Youth Pastor at Pomerado Christian Church and in charge of overseeing the Optic Youth Ministry. His hope and desire is to help each student in their journey of faith by building a strong communal presence in the youth program and, ultimately, teach them the words of the Teacher. His main loves in life are Jesus, wife, children, ukuleles, playing sports, traveling, and Dodgers!

Mary and her husband, Reg, have raised four confident and amazing daughters. Now, they enjoy being grandparents to six little sweeties. Mary was a volunteer in Children's Ministry at Pomerado for several years before joining the staff in 2002 as the Director of FaithRock Children’s Ministry. God has given her a passion to help children know what it really means to follow Christ for a lifetime through faith, fun, and friends. Want her to be a happy girl? Take her to the beach!

Suzi is married to Jim and has three children, Jared, Luke and Rachel. Suzi is the Children’s Ministry Assistant at Pomerado Christian Church working alongside the Children’s Ministry Director in preparing for ongoing activities and special events. Her desire is to see all children come to know Jesus and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Suzi is the youngest of ten children and became an aunt at the age of five. Being surrounded by children is second nature to her and she wouldn’t want it any other way.
