Our story

Both Joel and Liz felt the call of God to move from the bay area and plant a life-giving church in Sacramento California in 2010.

Joel grew up in a pastor's home and is a 3rd generation minister. He has a passion for worship and communicating God's Word in a personal and applicable way. He pursued the call and received his B.A. in Theology. Joel is an avid sports fan and enjoys good music and a good cup of coffee. Liz, a Texas native, also grew up in a pastor's home. She is passionate about raising her children, directing various ministries, and leading people in worship. Together they make an awesome team.
