Meet our Pastors
Pastors Greg and Brandy came to Embrace in April 2023 as pastors but are no strangers to the area. Their full time ministry began in 2003 as youth pastors at a local church for 5 years. They have served as lead pastors for over 15 years in Texas and Indiana. They are excited to be back and see what God has in store for the community. Pastors Greg and Brandy have been happily married for over 30 years. They have three grown kids Micah and his wife Maddie, Noah and his wife Allegra, and Grace. In their free time Pastor Greg loves to golf, but together they enjoy hiking , antique shopping, and pretty much anything together. They are very team oriented and are anticipating what Embrace will become.
Meet our
Next Gen Pastors
Micah and Maddie Harvey have a heart for the next generation! They met while working at a Christian summer camp in San Diego back in 2021 and tied the knot the following August in 2022. Before that, Micah completed a three-year internship at Higher Vision Church in North LA, where his passion for youth ministry grew. Together, they’re excited to see Embrace NextGen thrive and are dedicated to helping young people and single adults grow in their relationship with Christ. Whether it’s through youth events or connecting with young adults, Micah and Maddie are all about building a strong, faith-filled community!
We believe this is just the beginning......
We love this community and have a deep connection here! We believe God is doing amazing things through the people at Embrace Church. Come and be a part of what God is doing here!
What we believe
The Bible
We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.
-
That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written
-
That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct
God
We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Jesus Christ
We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ
-
In His eternal existence, with the Father in pre-incarnate glory

In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection
-
In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the absolute and essential deity, and in the personality of the Holy Spirit
-
Who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment
-
Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ
-
Who baptizes believers at conversion into the Body of Christ and bestows upon them His gifts sovereignly as He wills and fills those yielded to Him
Mankind
We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God
-
That by the sin of disobedience he fell from that state
-
That all his posterity inherited spiritual depravity and defilement
-
That all men therefore are guilty before God and condemned to physical and spiritual death
Salvation
We believe that salvation is by the sovereign grace of God
-
That by the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a propitiatory death

The Vision we see for Embrace Church in the next ten years is this.
1. As our church grows, we are believing for 1,000 people to be gathered at Embrace Church locations.
2. Because our heart is community, we are believing for 100 Embrace Groups within Embrace Church, where people not only do life together, but also grow one another in their walk with Christ.
3. Because the heart of God is for all the world, we are a church that will impact our world by giving a million dollars annually to world and local missions.
This is the vision for Embrace Church. This is our purpose in this community. Not to set as life passes us by, but to get up with vision and follow Jesus. we have a great work to do for the kingdom. We have souls to save and lives to forever change. God placed us here on purpose and for His purpose. The best is yet to come!
