Steve Aaron Hernandez
Steve is on our staff at Fullerton Free as our Men’s Ministry intern and serves on the HOST team. In addition to being an intern, he is currently a Master of Divinity student. He has been attending Fullerton Free for the last seven years. “God has really used the church to help me grow in grace and learn to use my unique giftings, personality, and experiences in community.”
“God has been teaching me what it means to follow Him in simplicity and with discipline. This theme has popped again and again in my personal reading, in messages, classes and being in community with others. There is great joy in following Christ simply and with self-control.”
Allie Echaves
Meet Allie! She currently serves as our 5th & 6th Grade Ministry intern and leads a group of 8th-grade girls in Junior High Ministry. She loves dance parties and adventuring outdoors.
“Honestly, I have no idea how living expenses or school expenses will be paid! I have no idea what life after college entails! I have no clue if I have enough time to complete assignments, finish work hours or even rest! As much as I like to believe I am an easy-going person, I’m secretly wiggin’ out! Unsurprisingly, the Lord continues to show up. As I nervously look into my wallet or look at my calendar for more time, He provides. Even when I doubt, He gives me just enough and even a cherry on top. He is so generous with His passionate love and kind intention. As I reflect on how far He’s taken me, the doubt subsides. He will keep carrying me forward somehow, someway! He sees me and will never forsake me!”
Cynthia Ramirez
Cynthia is our College Ministry intern. She is currently going to seminary at Talbot for her master’s in Christian ministry and leadership. Her favorite places in the world are Disneyland and the beach. “Some of my goals in life are to start my own non-profit and work in ministry full time. I want to inspire and encourage the next generation on their journeys with Jesus.”
Something God has been teaching Cynthia recently is to be content. “I want to recognize all the ways that God has blessed me in this season of life.”
