Pastoral Staff

  • Senior EM Pastor

    Pastor Jo currently oversees the English Ministry, with a focus on young adults and married couples. Raised in Torrance but now calling Irvine home, he's a graduate of UCSD with M.Div from Talbot School of Theology, earning his ordination in 2022. His journey in ministry at Disciple Community Church began in 2017 and shortly after in 2019, he began a lifelong partnership with his wife, Shardae.

    Jo's extroverted personality excels in his leadership to bring people together and his love for sports shines through in his enjoyment of watching the greatest sports teams like the New England Patriots and the Chicago Bulls. His true passion lies in helping people know Christ and grow in their knowledge of God, and witnessing our Ordinary Ministry flourish as a unified body of Christ.

  • Worship and College Pastor

    David currently oversees the worship and college ministry at Ordinary Ministry. Graduated from Talbot seminary in 2021 as an M. Div student and currently in the ordination process. He’s served as a pastor since 2015 and joined the Ordinary and Disciple staff in July 2023. He is the husband to his lovely wife Sabrina. He loves working with the college students to see Christ in all aspects of their lives.

    He is a little too serious about his love for the Phoenix Suns and coffee. As well as bleeding blue for the Dodgers. (It’s a weird combination.)

    David loves talking theology and music. He has a passion to see theologically driven and emotionally rich worship music in this next generation. As a passion to write songs for the church and to encourage believers, he writes music as Kindred Worship.
