Meet Our Lead Pastoral Couple
Zach and Jade Hafner met in 2017 while serving in partner High School Ministries. They got married in 2018 and have been involved in vocational ministry together ever since. Jade’s administrative and organizational abilities have led her to serving in executive assistant and director roles within various churches and corporate settings. She is passionate about hospitality, pastoral care, and counseling.
Zach's journey in pastoral ministry began in 2012, following his transformation from a life of substance abuse and partying in the snowboard world. He has held various roles in different churches in Southern California, with much time spent pastoring high school and college students in Yucaipa.
Zach pursued his undergraduate studies at Calvary Chapel Bible College and obtained graduate degrees in Applied Biblical Leadership and Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary. Currently, he teaches as a professor at Calvary Chapel Bible College and remains passionate about serving in the local church.
Zach and Jade enjoy outdoor adventures with their son, Paxton, and their husky, Granite, and love hosting people for meals around their table.
