Our Staff

Rev. Jeya So

Lead Pastor

Pastor Jeya (or “PJ” as she is affectionately known) is passionate about helping the entire Church identify and live into their God-given dreams for the sake of the world. Whether through preaching, mentoring, worship leading, or counseling, PJ has a knack for tying together powerful insights about faithfully pursuing Christ in all things.

PJ mentors and leads other church planters through coaching, assessing, and cohorts in partnership with 1001 New Worshiping Communities and Cyclical INC. As an author, she has contributed to Sustaining Grace: Innovative Ecosystems for New Faith Communities, Deconstructing Church Planting, and Building a Garden of Churches.

Rev. Daniel So

Lead Pastor

Pastor Dan believes his work as a minister is to help people see the presence of Jesus with them in the everyday and in-between. As a Third Culture person, PD wants people to experience and share the love of God from the fullness of how God has created them, including the good gifts of their ethnic and cultural heritages.

PD is blessed to work as part of the Cyclical movement — on staff as Director of Culture and locally as director of Cyclical San Diego. He also serves on the Advisory Board of Justice Ventures International, a nonprofit organization fighting human trafficking and modern-day slavery.

PD wrote about shrewdness in the book Faithful Innovation, released through Cyclical Publishing and is a hopeless music fanatic.

Elle Kim

Sunday School Intern

Elle leads our Sunday School for children ages 3 through 5th grade. She attends Cal State San Marcos, with a major in Child and Adolescent Development. In addition to her studies, Elle also works at a preschool. She is very energetic and excited to serve God and serve kids!

As someone who grew up in our church community — Elle has true love for our church family and has a big heart for what she’s doing! Elle loves to dance, travel, and hang out with friends & family.

Elle’s favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.”
