Rick & Lori Kamrath
(Worship Leader/Songwriter)
After years of involvement with outreach ministries in jails, hospitals, concerts and church events, Rick and Lori Kamrath began to be absorbed into the Vineyard worship movement in the mid-1980's. They ministered as worship leaders at Lunada Bay Vineyard in Palos Verdes from 1989 to 1992. They then attended Anaheim Vineyard until co-founding a Vineyard church plant in San Pedro. Throughout the rest of the 90's, they participated in various recordings, publications, and conferences with Vineyard Music Group. In November, 1997, Rick and Lori were wonderfully used of the Lord to help start Vineyard Community Church. They were VCC's first worship leaders and paved the way for other worship leaders and musicians to join because of their warm and friendly spirit and love for worshipping God. They helped set the genetic code for worship at VCC and will always have a unique place in our church's worship expression as senior worship leaders.

Rick and Lori have written some great songs. You can find some of these on the church's album, "Waiting on the Spirit." Rick and Lori live in Rolling Hills Estates with their four children: Kyle, Gretchen, Lindsay, and Chelsea.

Paul and Alicia Jackson
(Worship Leader/Songwriter)
Paul Jackson came to VCC in August of 2000 after moving back to California from Longview, Washington, where he was a worship leader at Evangel Christian Fellowship. Paul was saved in September of 1996 and was delivered from a lifestyle centered in drug addiction. At that same time, God put a guitar in his hands and he began to write worship songs. His desire is to lead others to intimate relationship with Jesus and spread the Gospel to those who have never heard. He has written songs such as "Restore to Me" and "Here and Now."

Paul and his wife Alicia, who also leads worship, live in San Clemente, CA. For more information on Paul and Alicia and their latest projects, please visit www.myspace.com/pauljacksonmusic.
