PastorLisa.com: About: Pastor Lisa is available for wedding ceremonies, women's retreats, guest preaching, youth speaking and youth ministry consulting.

I was blessed to grow up in a Christian family in Mission Viejo, CA. I grew up spiritually at Presbyterian Church of the Master and at Forest Home. My faith became my own as I was guided and challenged by my youth pastor. I completed my first summer church internship after graduating high school, which was the beginning of my call into ministry. By my junior year at Westmont College, God made it clear that He was calling me into ordained ministry. I discovered that God had given me the passion and gifts necessary to serve Him. I humbly, yet excitedly, embraced this call and I strive to do for others what my pastor did for me - be a living reminder of Christ.

I am an ordained minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church USA (since 1999). I was the Associate Pastor at Graham Memorial Presbyterian Church (Coronado Island) for four years until my daughter was born. After four years of being a stay-at-home-mom, God has given me the perfect opportunity to embrace both my call to motherhood and my call to ministry. I am currently serving as the part-time Pastoral Associate of Adult Education and Discipleship at San Clemente Presbyterian Church. I am grateful to SCPC for recognizing both calls on my life.

I have a passion for preaching/teaching God’s Word and feel that I am effective at connecting with all ages and both genders. I have done youth retreats, women’s retreats, all-church retreats and extensive preaching to people of all ages.
