David Ha - Worship Director
David, also known as "DHa", is a home grown CPC product. He first began attending CPC at the age of 8 where he proudly sported a bow-tie and ruffled dress shirt. He currently attends Talbot Theological Seminary. One of his passions is music. He desires people to have a more intimate worship experience with God. When he is not doing music, you can find him playing all different types of sports or hanging out with the guys.
Daniel "Dinko" Kim - Missions Ministry Director
Daniel grew up in Cerritos, and it is there that he received his nonsensical nickname. He is glad to be called "Dinko" since it differentiates him from the thousands upon thousands of Daniel Kims in the world. He is currently an M. Div. student at Westminster Seminary California. When he is not reading about the theophanic glory clouds, he enjoys watching DVDs or playing the guitar and singing.

Prairie Park - Children's Ministry Director
Prairie, despite her rustic name, was born in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. At the young age of five, she and her family moved to the suburban city of Cerritos - and thereupon her family started to attend CPC. It was during a Bible study class, on a regular Sunday during her elementary years, that she accepted Christ. Because of her early conversion, she is dedicated to ministering to young children - having full confidence that God calls even the youngest of them. Aside from church, Prairie enjoys eating (a lot), crafting, and watching TV.
