Today we get the privilege to sit down with and laugh with Pastor DJ Criner! DJ is a pastor, teacher, and visionary here in Fresno as he shepherds the people of Southwest Fresno at St Rest Baptist Church. DJ shares his thoughts about what it means for a church and a pastor to be a good neighbor in their space and place. The three chat theology, contexual ministry, community work, and city flourishing.
After 10 years in the church and parachurch space, Grace is excited to bring her understanding of ministry relations and communication skills to ENP. Grace grew up in Bakersfield, CA and is grateful to settle in and give back to the valley after some time away from it. After attending Cal State Channel Islands, she worked for Hume Lake Christian Camps, where she worked for Hume International, Hume’s ministry to missionary kids living and learning around the globe. Grace and her husband Matt, and their two daughters are loving living here in Fresno and are excited to listen and learn how to serve it. Grace enjoys walking with her family to their neighborhood ice cream shop, traveling, reading, and listening to podcasts.
