OUR STAFF
Simon Price
Senior Pastor
I love exploring God’s Word, knowing that He is speaking to us to show us his great love – through Jesus’s sacrifice and the hope he offers to all that would call on his grace.
The Lord has taken my wife and three boys all up and down the West Coast serving His Church and proclaiming the good news of Jesus. Every time we have stepped out in faith to trust God, He has blessed us beyond anything we could have imagined. Our hope at Grace Hills is that you would experience the power of the Gospel in every area of your life.
Revelation 21:1-4
Justin Wittkopf
Youth Minister, Life Groups Director
As the Youth Minister, I have the great honor of leading our youth as they build their lives on the firm foundation of God’s Word.
My desire is that every teenager would be known, cared for and discipled. That they would receive the fullness of the gospel message in Word and in deed. I also oversee the programming of our Life Groups ensuring that each leader has the tools they need to facilitate a conversation with their group members. My wife, Katie, and I enjoy board games, camping and getting to know our new community.
Matthew 25:21
David Kudenchuk
Worship Minister, Young Adults Director
I believe the songs we sing have power – to unite us under the banner of Christ, to witness to the world around us, and to help us hear the song of grace that God is writing in each of our lives.
I have the privilege of leading our church into weighty exaltation of God through the gift of music. My aim is to be an invisible bridge between our congregation and Jesus Christ. I joined the Grace Hills family in 2022 and am excited to see how God continues to faithfully work in this church.
Acts 20:24
Marietta Sajdowitz
Children's Director
I love to teach kids about God’s love for them.
When we open up the Bible to study God’s Word with a child, it’s like opening a treasure box! God has so many riches inside those pages that he wants us to impart on our kids. We have an amazing team of volunteer teachers and helpers here at Grace Hills who share the same passion, and I am blessed to serve with them.
Lamentations 3:22-23
Noah Herring
Marketing and Media Manager
Noah recently received his MBA with an emphasis on marketing from Biola University.
As the marketing and media manager I want to equip our congregation with the tools to confidently share Jesus with others. My hope is that new people will walk through our doors every week to hear the gospel.
Psalm 62:6
Lyn Lacanienta
