MEET THE TEAM

We believe our church and our staff should represent the community we live in. Some of our staff were born here in San Antonio, while others are from places far and wide. We have athletes, military veterans, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, professional vocalists and musicians, business owners, teachers, and many more. Each one of us cares about connecting with and caring for each one of you!
