    I am so grateful to be the pastor at Vacaville Community Presbyterian Church, I’ve waited my whole life for this! I was a missionary in Thailand for 17 years and 21 years total with Youth With A Mission. My main ministry for most of my life has been worship leadership and discipleship. I was a youth pastor for 7 years while simultaneously directing the modern worship team at a church in Washington State before coming here. I completed my master’s degree from Western Seminary in Biblical and Theological Studies in early 2023, and am on the heels of finishing my ordination with ECO (Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians). My wife of 23 years (Oct. 28th) is Yam, and we have 2 sons (Sam and John) and 1 daughter (Emily). My whole family is a worship team - one of the great blessings that the Lord has gifted us with! You’ll most likely see me around with a guitar on my shoulder or on my electric skateboard. I am passionate about Jesus, preaching the Word, and helping people deepen their relationship with Jesus. Hope to see you Sunday!

    My husband, Steve, joined CPC's worship team as the bassist a few years ago, and a few months later I volunteered to assist with weekly rehearsals and Sunday worship presentation slides. For many years we envisioned and prayed to be a part of a church where our talents and Christian beliefs could be shared. Our first Sunday service together at CPC was met with the immediate warmth of CPC's friendly staff and congregation. It was an unforgettable experience and very quickly cemented our decision to make CPC our home church. I am grateful to Pastor Paul for placing his trust in me as the Office Administrator. And I am humbled to be a part of CPC's staff and for the blessing of fellowship, worship, and serving the Lord at Community Presbyterian Church in Vacaville.

  • RENÉE INMAN

    Director of presbyterian enrichment preschool (pep)

    (707) 448-1626

    My first time coming through the doors of PEP school, I was a high school student in an early childhood education class assigned to do an observation in a preschool classroom. After I was married and had children of my own, I enrolled my son in PEP school while I worked jobs in an elementary school program called Just For Kids and as a noon duty supervisor. When my second child was born, I decided to get my Associate's Degree in early childhood education at Solano College and when my daughter started school, I did too, right here at PEP school! I was a PEP teacher until our previous director retired. I loved our PEP school and didn't want it to change, so I applied for the position and became Director in August of 2001. When it was time for my daughter to move on to kindergarten, she didn't understand why I wasn't either. Every year when our children go on to kindergarten, I am so happy for them, but I will stay in Preschool:) I am just not ready to move on!

    Yam is here from Thailand. I love singing and playing music since I was a little kid. Growing up in the church, I served in the choir and worship team all of my life. I married Paul and we have 3 kids, Sam, John, and Emily. God gave us the ministry that led us to learn so much in the area of worship.
