Pastor Dave earned his Bachelor's Degree in History from California State University Northridge; his M.Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary; and his D.Min. from Columbia Theological Seminary.  His pastoral career has included pastoring churches of varied sizes in California, Pennsylvania and Aalen, Germany; teaching Biblical Hebrew at Fuller; earning teaching certification in the Bethel Bible Series and Alpha; and service on committees of many presbyteries, including time as an instructor in Church Leadership in San Fernando Presbytery.  Pastor Dave has many years' experience as a transitional pastor and feels that God has called and equipped him for transitional ministry.  His statement of faith aligns well with Who We Are as a congregation.

Pastor Dave grew up at Bel Air Presbyterian Church, and as a young adult, he spent time at the Salt Company here at FPCH!  He has a heart for people of all ages and a heart for our church.  He understands and is drawn to our history as a Christ-centered, Bible-based congregation; as the son of a church organist and choir director, he also is drawn to our passion for worship.

Amie delights in spending time with beautiful and brilliant friends in our community, some of whom are in transition with housing. Sharing in life together allows the love of Christ to minister to all of us. Such abundant love fosters hope and the profound blessing of being the church.

Richard Gomez, born and raised in Los Angeles, loves writing, reading, music, and seeking all practical intersections between the gospel and culture. The church can thrive within her context, as we seek to bring creativity, innovation, imagination, and community in all cultural spheres back underneath the loving and compassionate Lordship of the ultimate Creator: God. Richard has been in youth ministry for over ten years and longs to help youth thrive and flourish by seeking their definition and identity within the loving care of Jesus, as we together learn how we can be extensions of the grace and mercy of God, now. Richard received his Mdiv. From Northwestern Seminary, and is always looking to connect with new friends over coffee.
