Christopher Spolar
Lead Pastor
Christopher and his wife, Jenna, have always called the San Gabriel Valley home. Growing up in a Christian household with five siblings, Christopher’s faith journey truly deepened in college where he felt he began to follow Jesus as a disciple. It was on his college debate team, running a “Jesus ethics” argument, that he first discovered his passion for sharing the transformative way of Jesus with others.
After earning his M.Div. from Fuller Seminary, Christopher served for over eight years in the English ministry at a predominantly Chinese-immigrant church. During that time, he successfully launched and led the church’s youth and young adult ministries, while cultivating local inter-church partnership. His heart for the gospel and the Kingdom has been a defining theme throughout his ministry.
Following a season of deep discernment and prayer, and with the blessing of his former church, Christopher and his family embarked on a new chapter—planting a church in partnership with the Free Methodist Church.
Christopher and Jenna live in Alhambra with their three children, excited for the next steps in their faith journey together.
