We’re in a season of renewal—revamping a long-loved ministry to serve our community with fresh energy and the same unchanging gospel. Our heartbeat is simple: Love Jesus. Love People.

As a Southern California native and first generation Christian, Lennie called L.A. home as a youth and moved to the Inland Empire when he graduated from The Master’s Seminary in 2000 with a Master of Divinity degree. After being born again at 19 years old, Lennie felt an inescapable call to ministry and has been blessed to have experienced working in various multigenerational and multicultural ministries as a volunteer, pastor, and vocalist. 

Lennie has depended on God’s grace in raising three sons with his wife of 34 years and enjoys preaching, teaching, and helping God’s people grow into maturity in Christ. He enjoys authentic Mexican food, reading books and biographies on world leaders and history, and being at the beach or any outdoor landscape. Grateful to have served at Sierra Vista Baptist Church for over eight years as Associate Pastor, he is now privileged to be serving as Interim Pastor while working bivocationally in the warehouse industry. His ultimate and all consuming prayer and goal in life can be captured in his life verse:

“But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24
