Heath Hardesty

Heath Hardesty serves as the lead pastor of Valley Community Church and is a founder of Inklings Coffee & Tea in the heart of downtown Pleasanton, California. Heath grew up in a blue-collar home and was a plumber’s apprentice in Colorado before becoming a pastor on the edge of Silicon Valley where he, his wife, and four kids now reside. He holds degrees in literature, leadership, biblical studies, and theology from the University of Colorado Boulder and Western Seminary in Portland.

Brian Bell

Brian Bell is the senior pastor and shepherd here at Calvary Murrieta. Brian’s passion to bring Jesus to the nations has led him to approximately 40 countries and is now focused on our two specific unreached people groups. Brian and his wife Kelly have worked fervently since 2011 to bring justice for women and children who have been exploited in human trafficking. This continues to make a meaningful impact within the valley and across the globe.
