Leadership & Staff
Meet Our Leadership and Staff
As a non-denominational Bible church, Lone Hill Church is led locally by a council of Elders.
Looking toward the future, our Elders have a vision to see that each member of Lone Hill Church would continuously experience the presence of the Lord: Christ in you, the hope of glory…Christ…in all (Col. 1:27; 3:11). We live for Him as He lives in us. We want everyone here to constantly experience His presence as Savior, friend, deliverer, lover of our souls, and Lord. The Christian leadership at Lone Hill Church is working to equip our congregation to experience His presence both personally and continuously. It is the key to growing and maturing in Christ.
We hope you will come and visit and by the Lord’s leading join us in this great adventure of faith!
Pastoral Leadership
Bj Lopez, Pastor
Bj and Andrea Lopez began their ministry with ACTION International Ministries in 2001. For 16 years they ministered among the Khmer people of Cambodia, providing biblical training, discipleship, and support for local pastors and believers, and helping plant Shalom Church Phnom Penh. They also founded Mordecai’s Courage, a home established for orphaned and abandoned children. They remain family to this day. Their lifelong desire is that Jesus Christ would be treasured, proclaimed, and exalted among the nations.
Bj completed his Biblical Studies Certificate at The Master’s University in Santa Clarita, CA. Additional to Pastor and Elder at Lone Hill, Bj serves as the Director of Church Partnerships for ACTION USA, working to strengthen churches and mobilize them toward global missions.

The Elders’ Vision Statement
The Elder Council has adopted a vision statement as follows: That each member of Lone Hill would be continuously glorying in Christ and living in His presence through faith, worship, and obedience.” Colossians 1:26-28 reflects this goal of living in the presence of the Lord:
“…has now been manifested to His saints, 27 to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.”
