Marilyn Valencia
 |
Marilyn grew up singing with her mother and
sister while attending church with her family. Her mom says
that she would lie in her bed singing the night away. When she
was told to be quiet and go to sleep, she would say, “But Mommy,
I’m only happy when I’m singing!” Singing has always been her
greatest passion, although her shyness in high school usually
kept her from performing in front of too many people at that
time. She eventually married and now has three kids. While
living in south Orange
County with her young family, she
attended Saddleback
Church
and sang in their gospel choir. After moving to
Corona she began singing with a worship
band at her church. This is when her talents really began to
grow, along with her confidence. That’s when she really got
excited about the role music played in connecting people to
Christ and knew that God had a plan for her life and was calling
her further into the music ministry. She currently sings on the
worship team at South
Hills Church
in Corona and has
recently joined up with
5 Damascus Road
and is looking forward to the many opportunities to serve God,
and bringing people closer to Him through their music. Marilyn enjoys computers, boating, skiing,
scrap booking, reading, and traveling around the world to visit
new cultures. She also enjoys cooking up a great gourmet feast
too! |

During many struggles Steve spent long hours in the word
and listing to teaching tapes from all kinds of
different denomination & traditions. Steve thanks the
lord for the grace given to him during that time of
struggle to get to know his lord (JESUS).
One thing Steve knows with all his heart is we need to
live out our faith and come together as one. One God,
One Body, One Faith! A WORKING FAITH, Not just a mental
ascent of our mind. Steve hope's to reach people with
music and in his daily life, not with his words only,
but with his actions.

friends.
