Our Team
Pastor Kurt and Susan Schonheinz heard the call of God and followed Him to Laguna Beach, CA. The Lord gave him a heart for the city and a love for her people. "It is our desire to reach the lost and those who once walked with the Lord, but for whatever reason have left the church. Therefore, there will always be an opportunity to hear the Gospel and receive the Lord. I want people to know they can bring those who don't know the Lord to Seaside and know they will have the opportunity receive Him."
This church started as a Bible study in their house on Friday nights and evolved into the church that is there today. They have been married for 24 years and their life verse is Jeremiah 29:11. May God's mission through them be to reach the people of Laguna Beach and surrounding areas.
Mark Savalle has been our Worship Leader since 2009.
We are blessed to have both is talent and his giftings here at Calvary Seaside. He has built up a great team of worshippers who have a heart to love the Lord through prayer and song. He has a heart for the "God of this City" and prays for Laguna Beach. Often, he facilitates the men's study.
Bridget Willard: Director of Children's Ministries. Bridget has so many gifts and such a joyous spirit that it's difficult to say she's "just" the Children's Ministry Director.
Asstistant Pastor: Mercier Willard. Mercier and Bridget have always put ministry as a priority in their marriage with Aquila and Pricila as their model. Their passion is the motel outreach in Anaheim, California, called Pardoned Prodigals that has been reaching out to the downtrodden, discouraged, depressed, dejected, and the lost since 2001. Pastor Mercier does the announcements, devotions, and coordinates the men's ministry.
