DANIEL HOOPER | SENIOR PASTOR
I was born and raised in Southern California. After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from UC Riverside, I was brought on staff at Harvest Christian Fellowship, which is also in Riverside. I worked there in various roles for 11yrs, and for 7 of those years, I served as a Pastor. It was there that I met my lovely wife Ericka, with whom I've been blessed with three amazing boys, Judah, Jase, and Silas. I love sports, the outdoors, coffee, and reading. I have an MA in biblical and theological studies from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University. In 2017, God called me and my family to help replant a church in northern Santa Barbara which would ultimately become Apostles Church. We have been so blessed to serve this church and the community of Santa Barbara and we eagerly look forward to all God will continue to do in and through our church.
