Our most recent staff addition, joining us in 2024, Adriana is part of our 'Healthy Family Initiative' to promote environments that lead to healthy family structure. 

Studying at Biola University to be an elementary school teacher, Adriana discovered that the topic she loves to teach the most is the Bible. Transferring her program to William Jessup University she completed her degree in Biblical and Theological Studies and connected her love for teaching the Bible with her love for teaching children. Her hope for Kids Ministry is to provide a space where kids know that they are known and loved for who they are by the volunteers but most importantly, by the Creator of everything – He loves them more than words can say. Kids Ministry’s goal is to partner with parents to help kids grow their own faith and become disciples of Jesus.

In any free time, you can find Adriana in a plant store adding to her large collection of houseplants, hanging out with her people (usually getting Dutch Bros), or binging documentaries on anything and everything.”

Joining our leadership team in 2022 and charged with the build up and oversight of the men's ministry at First Baptist Fair Oaks God has given Mark gifts of ministry which include teaching, valuable spiritual insight and discernment, an unapologetic faith in Jesus Christ, and a true shepherd's heart for building up Christ's body to seek the lost.

Part of Mark's unique testimony includes God's restorative power at work in his own household—a family walking in faith, hope, and love with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: 

"If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?" 1 Timothy 3:5

Mark and his leadership team are dedicated to walking alongside men in their search towards being obedient to God's expectations of becoming loving, servant-leaders in their marriages, their homes, their church, their work environments and in their local community.
