Senior
Pastor: Lynn Munson
I have served in ministry in the United Methodist Church for the past
14 years and love local church ministry. Serving alongside our
congregation in ministry, as well as educating and encouraging people
in their faith in Christ is a joy beyond expression! My Bachelors
degree is in Psychology from Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, CA and
I received my Masters of Divinity at Claremont School of Theology. I
have 3 grown children, my son Josh and daughter Rebekah work and live
in Albequerque, New Mexico and my youngest daughter, Rachel works at
and attends Orange Coast College. I am an avid road cyclist and have
a lot of fun with my dog Lilo.

Director
of Youth & Young Adults: Erin Stenberg
I am very grateful to be a part of the Yorba Linda
United Methodist Church community. I have grown up in the Methodist Church
and have been involved in Youth and Young Adult Ministry in some capacity
since college. I love working with youth and young adults and am so
excited to see God working in their lives. I am a graduate of
CSUF with degrees in criminal justice and comparative
religions. I received my MDiv from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2007
with an emphasis on Family Pastoral Care and Counseling. I love Isaiah
40:31 which reaffirms relying fully on God in all things and at all times.
In my spare time, I enjoy singing in choir, marital arts and spending time
with my family and friends.

Testament Theology, and Biblical Lit. One of my favorite Scripture
verses is Proverbs 3:5-6. I am a huge country music fan and one of my

God" from Josh Turner. I am married to my best friend and we have
three beautiful children. I love baseball and you can find me on the

Director, Yorba Linda United Methodist Preschool: Jodi Hammond
I have worked in the field of Early Childhood Education
for 9 years and have enjoyed it tremendously. I have a certificate in Early
Childhood Education as well as my Bachelor's Degree in Human Services. My
husband , Jeff, and I live in Rancho Santa Margarita with our daughter
Kayley, who was born this past April. We enjoy traveling and spending as
much time as we can at the river. It is my goal to partner with the staff
and the families of the preschool to provide quality Christian education and
development opportunities that will honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am very excited to be part of a ministry where we can share the word of
God with our young ones and their families and create an environment where
children can develop spiritually, emotionally and socially.
