Mark Ambrose

A native of Southern California, Mark earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Southern California, his Master of Divinity degree from Talbot School of Theology, and his Doctorate Degree in Preaching at Talbot School of Theology. Mark’s passion is to see people reached for Christ and to help them grow in their love and devotion to Him. During the 1980s, Mark had a fruitful evangelism ministry, recording and touring internationally with a contemporary Christian music group that he founded. Mark became the Outreach Pastor at Pacific Coast Church in 1995, served as Executive Pastor from 1996-2003 and was the Senior Associate Pastor from 2003-2006. On February 8, 2006, Mark was installed by the Elders and the Church Members of Pacific Coast Church as the new Lead Pastor. Mark and his wife, Susan, married in 1982 and have 3 children, Brittany, Evan and Brennan, and 6 grandchildren.

Matt McGill

Matt grew up in Tustin, and returns there often for good tacos and Kean coffee.

He graduated from Azusa Pacific University with degrees in Biblical Studies and Psychology. Matt has served in full time ministry since 1995 working in a variety of churches and ministry roles. He has served students, various adult ministries, and served on the preaching team.

Matt is passionate to see people grow closer to God, both unbelievers and believers. This is why he loves all kinds of questions and even skepticism. Matt cares deeply about helping others read the Bible better on their own and discovering their God given gifts and mission.

In 1996, Matt made the incredibly wise decision to marry Misha. They have five kids, all boys: Max, Marc, Morgan, Miller, and Mac.

In his free time, Matt likes to read science fiction and spend time in the garage where he puts his very amateur woodworking skills to practice (some would say mal-practice).

Amen Bains

Amen was born in Visalia, CA. He earned his BFA in Graphic Design from the University of the Pacific and his Masters in Theology from Fuller Seminary. Amen has been serving in full time pastoral ministry since 2007 and is passionate about helping people come to know Jesus and encouraging them as they take their next steps with Him. Pastor Amen will be heading up our PCC Online ministry, using his gifts to help people connect and follow Jesus no matter where they are located.  

Amen is married to Michelle and you can often find them at Dodger Stadium cheering on the boys in blue!

Marc Hughes
