Leaders

Pastor Bodie is a brilliant Bible teacher and can also do all things technologically. He loves people and abhors avocados.

Pastor Tom is the founding pastor of Heritage since its inception in 1998. He loves God, family and people slightly more than fly fishing and Tabasco Sauce.

Gino serves the body of Christ through overseeing our Prayer Ministry. He also serves on our Elder Board. He absolutely loves people and hates onions but loves jalapeños.

Pastor Tyson is our Youth Pastor, a graduate of both Moody Bible Institute and Talbot University. Best of all, he loves youth and young adults. He and his wife, Jennifer, and three boys, are a real gift to the Heritage Family.

Pastor Eric is our Teaching Pastor and a Battalion Chief for the Los Angeles Fire Department. All those who hear him are blessed by his incredible gift to teach and insights into God’s Word. His life of dedication and leadership act as a solid example to all who know him.

Tara organizes the staff, keeps the books, works with the Deacon Board, runs our Youth Department... and did I mention she helps run the Family Link ministry? Phew... I'm get tired just writing this!

Lili is always there to help! Whether it's organizing a gourmet meal for 200 or catching frogs in a local stream, she makes the event happen!

Like the Statue of Liberty, Rob is forever present to greet you. "Give him your tired, your poor and huddled masses..." and he'll connect them to the right ministry!

Susan's love for children is obvious. Credentialed as a public school teacher, her love for children is only exceeded by the children's love for her! She also loves her dog, Wilson.

If you call the church, you are likely hear Veronica's voice. If you're sick, you're likely to get one of Veronica's meal, and if you're a visitor, you're likely to get one of Veronica's greeting cards. Did I mention she oversees our Women's Ministry?

Brian has been leading worship since he was 11 years old. That was four years ago, and he still leads worship. He loves music, his wife; his three little girls and his childhood delicacy... Top-Ramon.

Pete has served the Lord through music for decades. He also serves as an Elder, and has a backyard that literally overlooks all of Orange County and Catalina. Whenever he and his wife host a church event, they charge admission... Just kidding!

James and his wife, Misty, have served Heritage since its inception. He loves Jesus with all his heart, and restores old cars with all his cash!

Tyrone serves as an elder and Bible teacher. By profession, Tyrone is an engineer. By God’s grace, he is a man of prayer with wisdom beyond his years. Tyrone’s role as an elder, teacher, spiritual advisor and friend is made evident by his intimate relationship with his Savior, Jesus Christ.

Misty and her husband, James, lead our Family-Link Ministry, a fellowship for parents with younger children. The Matz’s was among the founding members at Heritage’s inception in 1998. They continuously give, encourage and bless the Body of Christ.

Dan and his wife, Susan, have served in leadership roles spanning more than two decades. Dan has held positions on both our Elder and Deacon Boards, acting as Chairman, Business administrator and far more. Today, he serves our missionaries and keeps us current on their condition.
