Children's Ministry
Gospel Kids
4-8 year olds
9-12 year olds
At the heart of our children’s ministry is a time of worship and Bible teaching, which is designed to clearly present to every child their need for the Savior, Jesus Christ. Your children will be encouraged to grow spiritually at all ages by committed loving volunteers, as well as building friendships with other children. Gospel Kids is led by Daria Marandola and co-leader Lisa Jaenicke.
Security and Volunteers
We want you to know that we consider it an honor and privilege to pour into the lives of children each week and we will never take that responsibility lightly. In order to serve as a volunteer you are required to allow us to complete an in-depth background check.
Image Church is approved to process background checks through ProtectMyMinistry.com, a reputable provider of risk management and digital information, to process each person through a National, State and County criminal and registered offender database. Once the background check is completed, the volunteer is then approved for service.
Youth Ministries
Youth Ministries
Junior High/High School
We believe that the teenage years are a vital time for students to grow in their love for God and in the knowledge of His word. And so each Sunday, after joining the adults for worship, students meet together for a specially designed youth bible study (except for the first Sunday of each month when students join adults in main service). Our current youth leader is Christopher Adam along with our co-leaders Linda Harris, Sarah Verschueren, and Jenna Nelson.
About our youth leader:
Christopher Adam is currently the youth leader of Image church. Although born and raised in Southern California, Christopher is part of a family that has a deep connection to their Christian heritage and culture. Christopher’s mother and grandparents were born in Jerusalem Israel and were part of the Syriac Orthodox Church. After immigrating to America, Christopher’s grandfather started the first Syriac Orthodox church in Chicago in the 1960’s, converting his basement into a chapel for Sunday services until the official church was established. He would also go on to help start the first Syriac church in California (St.Mary’s) where Christopher served as an altar boy.
Although the influence of his grandfather left a strong sense of purpose, it wasn’t until a trip to Ukraine in 2014 that Christopher personally felt the calling of God on his life. After spending one week with Ukrainian pastors serving the local church, Christopher experienced an undeniable sense of Gods voice calling him unto a life devoted to Jesus. Upon returning to California, Christopher would pursue a degree in Theological studies at Concordia University Irvine, alongside an A.A. Degree in communications.
After graduating, Christopher would go on to work in business and serve in ministry. He is presently working in the Cryptocurrency industry and currently serves as the youth pastor of Image Church. He is passionate about technology, enjoys watching UFC with friends, and loves spending time with family as much as he can.

Women’s Bible Studies
Our women’s group is vital part of our community. As women of God we understand the value of friendships that hold us up in prayer, sharpen our understanding of God’s word and encourage us on to good works. We invite you to join us in our weekly meetings where we grow in our relationships with each other and more importantly with our Lord, Jesus. Together we can make a difference in the lives of our families, our workplaces and our neighborhoods while bringing glory to His name. The women’s study is led by Melissa Evans. We meet on Friday mornings in San Juan Capistrano at 9:30am. Email the church office for more information: information@imagechurchoc.com

At Image Church we are intentional about equipping our members with the good news of Jesus Christ in order to mobilize that faith in a variety of ways. So in addition to the vital ministries directed toward the health of those within our church community, we also believe it is important to reach out to those outside of our church community as well.
