Erin Scholz is in a season of transition after pastoring for 7 years as the worship leader and women’s ministry leader at Mountain View Church in Fresno, CA.

She was an elite college athlete who struggled greatly with depression upon the completion of her college athletic career. Seven years after her college basketball career, she played 1 season in the State Basketball League of Western Australia and 2 seasons of pro basketball in Colorado. Each season resulted in winning a championship.
Erin coached college women’s basketball at Utah State University, Fresno Pacific University and Grand Canyon University for a total of 9 seasons prior to entering full-time Christian ministry.

Erin’s life and ministry flow out of her testimony of Jesus Christ and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Her devotion to Jesus is accompanied by a desire to comfort, encourage and strengthen God’s people. She also has a passion to help people understand, access, and express their Christian faith. She accomplishes these things through speaking, singing, and through her current practice as a certified massage therapist where she creates a sacred space for women to release, receive and rejuvenate.

Kathy is passionate about strategic prayer that heals the heart of our city. She leads prayer with the Valley Prayer Hub – a local gathering of prayer leaders and intercessors.

Kathy and husband Patrick moved to Fresno in 1982 from Michigan. They live in the Lowell district, near downtown. Their children, Phil (married to Katy), Kristen and Karen all live in Fresno. Kathy received her Masters of Christian Ministry from Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in 2004. She serves locally with her church, Midtown Vineyard, and the National Day of Prayer Task Force.

Monica Morgan lives in Madera California with her husband David of thirteen years.
The Lord has blessed Monica with a handsome grown son David Jr, through her marriage, and a miracle promise of their baby girl two and a half years ago, with the adoption of their daughter Savannah! They have one little four-legged companion named Zoie.

Monica recommitted her life to the Lord over twenty years ago and has never looked back.
Monica has served alongside her husband as the senior leaders/pastors of Face To Face International Ministries for seven years before the Lord changed their course and David was called into marketplace /traveling ministry extra, extra full time!

The Lord has put a passion in Monica’s heart to see Gods women rise and become all they were created to be! She is the founder of Eagles Arise Warriors of God Coalition, has a beautiful team of women (and men) that serve alongside her, and together they create atmospheres that are conducive for the presence and the power of God to manifest and set His daughters and (sons) free!

Monica is co-creator (along with Holy Spirit) of Wrapped In S.I.L.K. -Sacred Intimacy Lavish Koinonia Worship Instruments, that are used to enhance one’s worship experience as they minister in dance unto the Lord.

Monica is forever grateful for all that the Lord has done and continues to do in her life. She stands in awe of His great love for her and His wonder working power!
A favorite scripture for Monica is Zachariah 4:6. Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
