Meet our Leaders


Peter Foster

Pastor

Peter and his wife Betsy come to us from the city of Concord in the Diablo Valley and moved to Patterson 6+ years ago. They have been married for 40 years and have 3 kids and 8 grandkids. Do not let that fool you. They are avid outdoor people and recently rode their bikes, no support, half way across the United States. Peter has been involved in church planting for 20 plus years and has a lifetime of experience in ministry as a youth pastor and worship leader. He attended Bethel Theological seminary and is an Ordained Evangelical Covenant Pastor. Peter has had the privilege to teach in the public schools for 18 years and coached Track and Cross Country for over 37 years. You will find him in Patterson hanging out in his other office “Blues Café” or out and about on his bike. He loves to smoke meat, read books, camp and backpack, and hang out with family. His greatest passion is to encourage others to live their lives to the fullest.

She also has a passion for connecting people. Her pastoral role is to help us connect with one another and our community.
