Stefanie first began working with youth at Creekside nearly twelve years ago – and has lived to tell about it. When she’s not hanging around teenagers, she can be found researching the brain in a neuroscience lab in San Francisco, rooting on the Oakland A’s or Cal Bears (depending on the season), or occasionally - though not nearly often enough - traveling to various exotic ports like New Zealand and Hong Kong.  Stefanie could regale you with stories about the crazier aspects of youth ministry (ask her sometime about her first Mexicali missions trip experience) she would rather tell you about the many students whose lives have been changed by the power and love of Jesus Christ.

Brad affectionately known as “Boom” is the football coach at San Leandro High School and has a deep desire to mentor young men.  He has been in youth ministry for many years.  He also has been going to Mexico for twelve years to minister alongside our “sister” Church in Cuernevaca, Mexicali.  He loves the thrill of competition and seeing his players do what they are supposed to do.  He played football at the University of California at Berkeley.  He played football for the Detroit Lions for a preseason, but decided instead to go into teaching and coaching because he wanted to affect the lives of young people. 

Lyndsey has been working with Middle School Ministry for about 5 years. She brings to the table an awesome bowling stroke, extensive useless movie trivia, a fine tattoo collection, and some funky fresh dance moves. The experience and wisdom she gained as a pistol packin' saloon girl in a wild west comedy stunt show have not yet come in handy at Catalyst but she remains hopeful.  Lyndsey thanks God every day for her little brother, and also that He invented chili-cheese Fritos. She is excited to be a part of this amazing team, and loves hanging out with her Middle School friends.
