Track One: High School, College, Adult

Hanley currently serves as an Associate Pastor to English and Youth at First Chinese Baptist Church of Walnut, CA.  After graduating from Biola University with a B.A. in Communications in 2003, he received his M.Div from Talbot Theological Seminary in 2006.  He is passionate about: preaching and teaching God’s Word, shepherding God’s flock, investing in future preachers/pastors, and building relationships with people.

He enjoys spending time with his bride Meryl, reading, studying, relaxing to clean country music, and playing basketball; but secretly he wishes that he was 100 pounds heavier and 10x quicker so that he could play in the NFL (professional football); he is extremely passionate about the game of football and has been known to be a fantasy football fanatic.  His future plans include pursuing further theological education, and God willing, raising a family for the Glory of God.

Track Two: Junior High

Joe is currently serving as the Youth Pastor at Knott Avenue Christian Church in Anaheim, CA. He received his B.A. in Youth Ministry from Hope International University in 2006. He has worked with Junior High students for over 10 years now and his passion to see their lives changed for Christ grows by the year. Joe and his wife of 3+ years, Rachel, absolutely love Angels Baseball and Ducks Hockey and attend as many games as possible. They even live close enough to walk to games! They also love animals. They own a maltese-poodle mix named Mimi (the apple of Rachel’s eye) and a 38-gallon tropical fish tank (Joe’s pride and joy). Joe sees himself working with youth for years to come because he believes it is his calling and not simply a stepping-stone to another ministry.
