Bridget encourages and lifting up the brothers and sisters through one on one outreach at the  Friday Night Outreach through teaching, worship, and lifting up the lost with prayer.

Her book, Bagel by the Sea, is a collection of those essays and poems.    She is reworking her book about worship called On the Mountain: read a sample of Chapter 1.  She also coordinated and spoke at the Women's Retreat that was held in 2003 and 2004; prayerfully, will hold another one soon.

Wyatt, Julie, and Camille Brigham

Wyatt has written devotions from the Proverbs and is currently working on recording his messages from friday nights for our podcast. He has already taught through Mark, Habakkuk, Colossians, Philippians, and Ecclesiastes. The church is growing in the Word; it's wonderful to watch. "The just shall live by faith."

Julie is always compassionate and is very quick to pray for others. Camille just joined the "house band" worship team at the Valencia (July 07) and is naturally gifted at percussion.

Howard and Cindy Wilson
(Congratulations on your wedding April 14, 2007!)

Howard lead worship every Friday night at the Arena for years with his Q-Chord and vast array of songs from old-timey Pentacostal to the new generation of songs. Now he plays his instrument during the fellowship time. What a difference it makes. He is so quick to play someone's favorite song; how I love to see that ministry of encouragement through him.

Cindy is a prayer warrior and is quick to pray for those even standing in line, a valuable warrior for Christ. They are both also part of the food ministry team as well.

Howard and Cindy attend North Long Beach Community Prayer Center, where he leads worship on Sundays and she also volunteers in Children's Ministry.

Rick and Debbie Kernan

Rick and Debbie are awesome prayer warriors. Rick has been taking photos for our site. He also is on the "door knocking team." I love to hear Rick say, "So, do you have eternal plans?" as casually if he asked if they like McDonald's. Recently, they have become part of the food ministry team, as well.

They attend Calvary Chapel Seaside.

She and her fiance Warren have lead worship for our outreach at the arean and are now part of the "house band" at the Valencia. We are all excited to see these two grow in their giftings and callings in the Lord.

Elisa DePierre

At the Arena Outreach, many times I let her entirely run the Bible class because she's would call us during the week with this wildly inspired craft or project idea for the kids. She's grown so much since coming out with us it's truly incredible.  At 17 she is an awesome girl for God and is becoming quite the prayer warrior. We are praying that the LORD would continue to reveal in and through her her calling.

She attends Calvary Chapel San Juan Capistrano.

Brittany Fegal

Brittany is really special and has a gift for being with the children.    She is also very good at the bread ministry.  Positively possessing the gifts of helps and hospitality, Brittany will often bake a batch or two or three [of cookies or brownies] just to hand out to those standing in the bread line.  She's amazing!

She attends Calvary Chapel Rancho Santa Margarita and Saddleback Community College.

Jake & Jade Allen

Jade and Jake attend San Diego Christian College and Shadow Mountain Community Church.

It's great to see Wyatt and Julie's daughter growing in the Lord and coming back during college breaks and the kids just surrounding her.  She is wonderful with the kids and ministering to their needs as is her new husband Jake.
