PASTORAL TEAM

Jordan Sanoy

Pastor

I gave my life to Jesus Christ at a young age. I don't have a crazy testimony or even formal training, all I have is Jesus, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit. That's all I have and that's all I need.

My heart's prayer has always been "Lord, let your will be done in my life". After surrendering my life to Christ, the Holy Spirit stirred up in me, a passion for worship. I began to develop my skills as a bass player because I felt a strong calling to become a musician for God. I served as musician in the church most of my teenage years even until now.

At age 20, the Lord stirred up a new thing in my heart, which is teaching and sharing the Word to people. I became hungry and thirsty for His word all the time and began sharing the Word to the youth at church.

Today, I am one of the associate Pastors.

Shaun Easterbrook

Pastor

I came to know Christ in May of 2015. My brother (Pastor Hiros) and I were hiking Rattle snake ledge while I was vacationing here from Syndey, Australia. While we were bonding, I got asked the question, “if you were to die right now are you ready?” Then my brother shared Jesus with me and from then on I accepted Jesus into my life as my Lord and Savior.

I love saying how “I went up the mountain one person and I came down another”.

Sky Easterbrook

Pastor

I grew up in a Christian family home but I did not accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord & Savior until I was 9 years old. Ever since then, I longed to serve Him and to have His glory be shown in my life. My passion for singing became my way of serving Him. From when I started leading worship at 14 years old until now that I’m 30 years old, He continues to give me reasons to worship Him. We can never really comprehend how much He loves us and we will never really run out of reasons to worship Him, so I will continue to serve Him because He deserves everything.

Hiros Bautista

Pastor (Bremerton)

My relationship with Christ started in

the gym. At that time, I was facing a giant circumstance in my life and on the verge of loosing my family. I didn't want anyone to know or even wanted to ask for help and guidance because I thought that I can fix my problems on my own. But that was not God's plan and will.

Someone from the gym introduced me to Bishop Israel. He started to pray for me without me uttering a single word about what I was dealing with at that time. Bishop had invited my family to go church - the only best decision I have made in my life. From there, my family was able to start bible studies from our home. I saw God using that bible study to groom leaders for our church who are now leading our daily life groups/bible studies.

From that moment, I decided to be a spirit-filled believer in the salvation of Jesus Christ who pursues an ongoing relationship with God and who will walk with Jesus Christ.

Arvin Marcelino

Pastor (Bremerton)

I surrendered my life to Jesus in 1990. I grew up in the Philippines and was known to be a member of "tambayan" aka street groupies with no jobs. The life I once lived was full of anger, pride, and not caring about those who I hurt.

When I met my wife, Antonette, she invited me to go Church,and since I had nothing to do, I went. There, I met Bishop Israel who showed me the love of God by not looking at my flaws but saw a man who will serve the Lord. I started as just a driver for the church. As I grew hungrier and hungrier for the Lord, I saw how quickly God transformed my life from tambay & driver to a Pastor. I was a Pastor in the Philippines for 11 years.

I came to the US in 2015 but resided in CA. There, I was challenged by loneliness, from family but most importantly, from serving God. With Bishop's guidance, my wife and I moved to Seattle in 2018 and was reunited to serve my God again in LFCI Seattle.
