    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.
