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
Administrative Assistant (1 of 2)
Janelle is the first half of Team Secretary. She was born and raised in Southern California and has been a member of the Eagle Rock SDA Church for over 20 years. She believes music makes the world go 'round, and enjoys singing at the top of her lungs (when no one is around to hear) She is witty and insightful (almost exclusively when no one is around to hear). She spends a large portion of her free time making weird faces at her niece and nephew (don't worry, they started it...probably) and talking gibberish at them (which they can usually decipher).
She adamantly dislikes cinnamon and the number five (...that's relevant, right?). She loves parenthetical statements, and enjoys stating the obvious.
She is pleased to report that there is a very high chance her socks match (each other, not necessarily the rest of her ensemble) and only a small chance her shoes are untied.
Krista Mchale
Administrative Assistant (2 of 2)
Krista is the second half of Team Secretary. She was also born and raised in Southern California and has been a member of the Eagle Rock SDA Church for over 20 years. She has yet to write her own bio, so the other half of the Team feels the need to inform you that she's awesome. That's all, I think you're caught up now.
(For the record: Krista doesn't actually look like a field of sunflowers, she looks very human - just to be clear.)
