PASTOR AARON & SARAH YANAGI

STUDENT MINISTRY PASTORS

Aaron & Sarah both grew up in Stockton, CA. They committed their lives to Christ in high school and felt a strong call to ministry. "Even though I was raised in church I really didn't own my faith until my junior year, then I began to pursue God's plan for my life. I attended Southwestern University through Lakeview Assembly and in September of '04 and now have a beautiful son Micah Born Aug. 29th!

SPEED THE LIGHT DIRECTOR

I am 18 years old; I grew up in church and decided to follow Christ at a very young age. I believe every day is a mission, sometimes we just can’t see our enemy. That is why I have a passion for this generation and am studying dance and       cross-cultural communications.

 KRIS RIGHTNOUR

CADENCE ROOM STAFF

I got saved when I was young, but walked away in High School when I lived in San Diego. I did the party scene. No one took me seriously because I was a Pastors kid, so I tried to be the hardest kid I could in school and rebelled. I came back to God when I got married to my wife Jenn because, I wanted to raise my kids in church and I wanted to be a strong Christian example for my family and kids.

RYM STAFF

June '08 marks the seventh year of my salvation. My response to that altar call 7yrs ago changed my life, and I’ve been serving God ever since. I have a heart for young girls and reminding them how truly beautiful they are in God’s eyes. I’m eagerly awaiting both graduation from Stan State and my upcoming wedding! I’m currently engaged to Sean Bradford and I’m so excited to begin the next chapter God has written for us.
