Cindy (Lockwood) Clift has lived in Walnut Creek, California all her life.  “I didn’t attend church as a child, but did open my home to “Young Life” meetings, but more for the social part than the spiritual. That changed at a high school Young Life camp in Canada where my faith became personal and I made the decision to become a Christian.  From that point, I began studying the Bible, attending church, and seeking God’s direction for my life.  I met David at my grandparents’ church in Martinez where he was an associate pastor.”

David Clift grew up in Concord, California.  “I didn’t like church as a child.  It was boring and confusing. That changed when our family was invited by a friend to a church where the message was clearly explained. It was not long before I made the decision to become a Christian. By my senior year of high school I knew I should be a pastor. I feel very blessed to have served and helped people for over 30 years.  We are extremely grateful for our three daughters. We love living and ministering in the Bay Area.”
