Bishop Charley & Pastor Linda Gallegos

[EXPAND Pastor Fermin Bonsell]Pastor Fermin is a California native. He was raised in a Christian home and has served in various ministries, including Praise & Worship, Choir, and has even worked with Drama Teams and the Children’s Ministry. He found his home at DCCI in 2006 and took on the Youth Ministry with his wife in 2008.

Pastor Fermin’s father passed away when he was a teen. The loss of his father at such a young age opened his heart and has allowed him to become a father-figure to countless young men in our youth group. He is humbled beyond measure to now be called “Youth Pastor”!

Pastor Liz had colorful teen years and considers herself a retired punker…now redeemed and restored. She firmly believes in being involved in the lives of our new generation and showing them how real Christ is and how much they are loved and called, not as future leaders but as the leaders of today.

Her expressed motto is: “You have to smell like sheep if you want to be a shepherd!”
