Fermin Estrada

He was raised in a Christian home which by the grace of God kept him from joining any local gangs which was the thing to do in those type of neighborhoods. It wasn’t until he turned 14 years old that he completely surrendered his life to Christ. He actively played the trumpet or sang in the choir weekly on the worship team at church. He married the love of his life on July 7, 2012 and will be having his 8th child this coming Nov 2024. He currently oversees the Youth Ministry and Co-Labors with The Reyna’s in Marriage Ministry.
Eddie Reyna
Eddie Reyna grew up in Gardena, CA, and saw firsthand what it means to be unequally yoked in marriage, with his father being Catholic and his mother being a strong Christian. (2 Cor 6:14-18) His mother instilled in him the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and at the age of 13, he gave his life to the Lord at a small Southern Baptist church. In 2005, He met the love of his life, Kendra, at CC South Bay. They married after 10 months and now have 4 children. In 2013, the Lord opened an opportunity for Eddie to transfer his job to Palmdale, giving Kendra a chance to stay home with the kids and start their homeschooling adventure. Eddie oversees the Children’s Ministry and co-labors in leading the Marriage Ministry.
