Tim brings excellence, innovation, and immense depth to our worship and creative arts ministry. Tim has a great sense of humor and is highly creative and industrious. When he isn’t leading worship or creating music, you can find Tim on the beaches of Florida or Hawaii (literally and/or figuratively!).

He hails from Baltimore, Maryland and moved to the Bay Area in August of 2018 after teaching English in mainland China for four years. Scott has an insatiable desire to learn about different cultures and languages, and simply enjoys getting to know anyone who comes from a different background, with the hope of sharing the good news of Jesus with them. His favorite thing to do is to travel to new states, cities, and countries trying new cuisines with his wife, best friend, and traveling partner, Ariel.

A Hayward native, he worked as a youth pastor and campus pastor in Las Vegas before returning to the Bay Area several years ago. He is our primary communicator to the church body, sharing the vision and engaging with people from all backgrounds to genuinely get to know them. He almost never forgets a face or name!

A recent transplant from the Pacific Northwest, Chelsea’s old soul loves long walks in pretty neighborhoods, working on her home, classical Baroque music, British period dramas, baking cream scones for her husband, and adding to her ever-growing collection of cardigans.

She is not-so-secretly in love with baking without a recipe or measuring cups and, one day, she plans to try her skills on a wedding cake. Even though she hates avocados and mayo, she is a typical Bay Area coffee snob and can’t go about her day without a good cup o’ joe. She loves God’s Word and desires to teach it well. She becomes obnoxiously excited when she learns new things about the Lord and His people!

Her background in TV news serves her well when it comes to telling stories of how Jesus has worked in the lives of our church and keeping you updated through our website, newsletters, and Sunday services. As a SF native, Lauren loves ranking cafes for the best croissants and coffee. When she's not baking bread, you can find her climbing rocks with her community group!

Kevin has served in the United States Air Force for 20+ years and is excited to transition into vocational ministry.
