Staff & Leadership

Pastor Ron and his wife Jennifer are both graduates of Oral Roberts University. Pastor Ron served as an associate pastor for three years at Harvest Christian Center before becoming the senior pastor in 1998.

Upon experiencing personal revival in 1999, the Eivaz's began a journey of church transformation that is still impacting the church today. Pastor Ron and Jennifer have both been given a passion and a vision for the city of Turlock and the surrounding areas. Their heart is to see God move in the supernatural to see a city transformed by the power of a mighty God. The church shares that vision and we are seeing mighty miracles in our midst today.

Pastor Ron and Jennifer both continue to lead the charge to "reach the city, and influence the nations."

She believes we have been assigned an awesome duty to love, encourage, equip and empower children with godly principles that will enable them to become all that God has called them to be. By combining her experience, education and understanding of the Word, she is able to meet kids at their level and invest in their lives in a way that is age-appropriate. She desires every child to have a personal relationship with Jesus so that they can better understand how very precious they are. By equipping these children today, they will be stronger leaders tomorrow.
