Aaron grew up with no background in the church. He suffered a life of abuse, addiction and crime. At the age of 22 years old, he surrendered his life to become a follower of Jesus Christ. This started a journey to overcome the anger, pain, and destructive behaviors in his life. Having found victory in God, he now has a passion for serving those that are struggling through the same issues. Aaron served as a youth pastor for seven years and an associate pastor for eight years prior to coming to Kaua`i in August of 2017. He received a year of ministry training and collegiate level Bible courses at the Master’s Commission in Phoenix, AZ before entering the full time ministry in Lake Havasu City, AZ. He received his B.S. in Psychology from Washington State University in 2014. 

Shannon started having a passion for graphic design in High School. In college she was blessed to work for a photographer who allowed her to learn Photoshop. After getting married she worked along side Aaron in the ministry. Her dream was to always be a stay at home mom and use her gifts for the church. Along with her creative side, she has a huge heart and desire to reach people for Jesus. You can usually find her at a coffee shop, Costco, or a grocery store talking story with complete strangers. She also loves helping women find their true beauty in Christ.
