Jordan grew up right here in Fresno and loves his hometown. He loves woodworking, hitting the golf course, and making coastal trips with his wife. The gospel has radically transformed Jordan’s life, and it is the desire and motivation of that heart for all people to see the uniqueness and beauty of Jesus. Jordan has been married to his bride Jamie since 2011. They have a son named Rowan and a daughter named Jubilee. 

Justin came to Fresno for college where he attended Fresno State. During that time, he met Alyssa, his beautiful and intelligent wife, whom he was blessed to marry in 2016. Together they have two boys named Josiah and Micah who bring laughter and joy to everyone that meets them. Justin enjoys sports, hiking, and spending quality time with his family.

Before becoming a pastor, Justin served as an officer in the Air Force for five years until hearing God call him into full-time ministry. He attended seminary at Liberty University, where he received his master's degree in Theological Studies. Justin has felt led by God to use his spiritual gifts of teaching, leadership, and service to help reach the next generation. Both Justin and Alyssa have a huge heart for the Central Valley and are extremely grateful that God has called them here to love and serve this incredible community.

Emily Pittenger is a middle child to a family of six and the shortest in her family. This taught her to value family time and also how to take a joke. She spends most days eating street tacos and Ampersand ice cream, taking her laundry to her parents’ house or camping with her closest friends.

Emily got her Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education, and is passionate about supporting families and child development. If she could be anyone in the world, she would be Miss Frizzle from The Magic School Bus and have fun all day teaching kids through play.

Josh was born in Santa Cruz and raised in Fresno. He's married to Vivianna and they love to be on a beach or in the water. Josh is also a big fan of The Lord of The Rings.

Josh has been in worship ministry since the 5th grade when he realized his need for Christ. He accepted Jesus as a high school junior at Hume winter camp. He loves working with students and pouring into the next generation, just like those who poured into him at that age.
