OUR teAM
The Church is not a building. The Church is the people.
We could not do what we do without the people who do what they do
to make the Eagle Rock Church not just a church, but a family.
There are too many to name, but we see what you do, and we are grateful.
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you."
Philippians 1:3

izzy Uribe
Youth Pastor
pastor.izzy@seektobefamily.org
Izraías Uribe (people call him Izzy) was born and raised in Southern California. His name is Hebrew, but he is Mexican-American. He and his wife have lived in Hawaii and Maryland, and have enjoyed attending church in both sandals and snow boots.
He enjoys making his wife laugh (but her sense of humor is so amazing, it's often her making him laugh) and spending time with his daughter, Shekinah, who is absolutely adorable. He and his family look forward to meeting new people and making new friends (possibly over food...hint, hint...).
He grew up in the church, but it hasn't been until the last several years that he's felt like he has been able to experience the Gospel in a special and significant way.
He loves creating spaces where people can learn and talk about life, God and relevant and current issues. He believes his goal in life is to continue to learn, to live as a child of God and to make Jesus an irresistible option for people.
Janelle Miller &
Krista Mchale
Administrative Assistants
Krista and Janelle were both born and raised in Southern California, and have been members of the Eagle Rock SDA Church for over 20 years. Their powers combined, they make up Team Secretary, the duct tape that keeps the office together. They are also responsible for the majority of the caffeine consumption that takes place in the office. They are understandably proud.
