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

  • Krista Mchale  &  

    JANELLE MILLER

    Administrative Assistants

    aka Team Secretary


    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 responsible for most of the caffeine consumption that takes place in the office, and are understandably proud.  

    Krista is the brains of the operation and handles the majority of the human interaction and actual helpfulness, while Janelle is mostly there for moral support (when she's not hiding in a corner), the aforementioned caffeine consumption and occasional comic relief.  (Don't worry, she agrees with this assessment.)

    They will eventually put up a photo to replace the field of sunflowers, but keep forgetting to actually take one (because they don't care overly much...) (and they both really like sunflowers).     :-)
