Dennis Cortez
Youth Pastor
About Dennis
My vision for this ministry is to create a space for our youth that is safe physically, mentally and spiritually. I desire to see them fall in love with Jesus, bringing about a lifelong change in their lives that will also impact others. I believe we need to reach our youth for Jesus because they literally are our future.
A little about me...
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA in an area where there was a high level of gang activity. As I got older I started to go to parties with my friends and got into a lot of trouble. At one point, I had to do community service at a place called The Dream Center. Little did I know that God would use that experience to bring me to Him and introduce me to my future wife. Now I live my life intentionally doing my best to show people around me that God loves them.
My wife, Tabatha, and I have two beautiful daughters and three dogs. I love spending time with them. I also enjoy hiking and hanging out with friends.

About Brigitta
I love the creative power of Jesus to transform lives and heal brokenness. I consider it a privilege to serve and be part of the ministry at CFC by providing administrative support to the various ministry teams.
A little about me:
I found Jesus through a wonderful lady who was persistent in my life. Life with Christ has been a journey --- a step-by-step process and every day Jesus in me, becomes more alive. I do my best to live intentionally, praying and listening for Holy Spirit direction.
I love being with my family and friends. I enjoy reading, puzzles, swimming, short getaways with my husband, and crafts with my grandkids.
