We opened a Saddleback Church campus in Irvine, CA this past Easter (March 2008). Saddleback Church has become "one church with many locations." Derek was brought on as the director of small groups and ministry. It is a perfect blend of his past few years of experience at Saddleback. He started out as an intern on the small groups team and then was part of the ministry team for one year. The all-star team at Irvine also consists of a campus pastor, youth director and children's director. Part-time staff includes a worship leader and a team associate.
Shortly after the team was assembled, each married male staff member announced that his wife was pregnant! Not long after, we all found out that we're having girls! The first to arrive is baby Kerr (campus pastor) at the end of September, then our baby in mid-December, and then the Galarza (youth director) baby at the end of December. I hope the church nursery is ready for them! We're all first time parents! It's going to be a great ride.
