Youth Staff
Jon Del Rio

Jon Del Rio is a solid pillar at the office: managing the church's accounting chores. He insures every penny is accounted for and maintains all financial records. Still he finds time to be a youth co-director with the YW8? Youth group. Growing up in the church doesn’t guarantee following the will of the Lord, but Jon is a wonderful example of it.

Gene Milman

Kekoa has trained since childhood in the art of kick butt and he hasn't been shy about bringing that to the table when designing the communication materials for the church. Humility is the next step in his walk with God and he will most likely have to repent after writing this bio. Yes, he wrote it in the third person.
