Specialty: Consulting and Ministry Training

Dave is an experienced pastor and coach since 1979 and has partnered with and mentored our executive director since 1994. Dave (and Rennie) serve with Cadre Missionaries as disciplemaking missionaries called to help churches and families understand and live disciplemaking friendships. They are directly involved with developing training tools and those who multiply disciplemaking as they model, teach, train, coach and mentor leaders and teams globally. One ends a conversation with them feeling encouraged … and most likely with an empty cup of coffee.

Al Jones

Specialty: Pastoral Leadership

Al brings a freeing reality and relevance to life as he oversees one of my favorite churches. (Favorite due to the intentional and maintained obedience to God and the seeking of Kingdom things that are present on earth. It’s a true 1 Corinthians 12-14 gathering.) The freedom to not wear masks and a God-encountering atmosphere make spending time with Al something to look forward each time we are in Bakersfield.
