Leadership

Rachel is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, a life coach, and has served alongside her husband in ministry since 1996.  She is passionate to see the presence of God impact the Bay Area and surrounding regions. Born into a family with a strong Christian heritage, Rachel grew-up around the things of God but did not fully surrender her life to the Lord until age sixteen.  It was through a sovereign visitation of God’s manifest presence outside of a fast food restaurant in Novato, California, that she chose to follow the Lord wherever He would lead.  

Together, Rachel and her husband Caleb have enjoyed ministering as Youth Pastors, College Pastors, and Associate Pastors.  Since 2002, they've served as the Lead Pastors of New Life Church Novato.

Caleb is also an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and has been the senior leader of New Life Novato since 2002. He possesses a high value for unity in the body of Christ and a passion for a Kingdom movement that brings authentic revival to every nation. A love for the nations, solid preaching, and passion to worship Jesus, all characterize his ministry.

He has also traveled extensively and ministered internationally.  Caleb's spent time ministering and/or living short-term in Congo, Russia, India, and several other nations.
