Paul's bio

I was born and raised in Santa Maria on the central coast of California. By God's grace, my parents were born again when I was a young child. Through their influence and the faithful witness of a Sunday School teacher, I trusted Jesus as my Savior at seven years of age. I came to understand that I was separated from God by my sin - I had broken God's laws. But I also came to understand that God loved me and sent Jesus to take the punishment for my sin by dying on the cross in my place. Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day just as He and the Old Testament Scriptures prophesied. By relying upon Jesus alone I have confidence that my sin is forgiven and that God has given me life with Him that will never end. It would be a great joy to share with you how you too can have life, hope and peace in Jesus. Please contact me if I can be of service to you.

I studied at BIOLA University and Dallas Theological Seminary in preparation for ministry. While at BIOLA I met my wife Cathy and we were married in the spring of 1984. God has richly blessed our lives through our children Ashley, Anna and Caleb. We have been serving Grace Community Church since 1991. We love the community of Ramona and our church family. I invite you to come join us as we grow in Christ.
