Pastor Benjamin Robinson

Lineage Church

Benjamin was born and raised in Oakland, California, surrounded by the seductions of the inner city. But early in his life, God set him apart by calling him to the ministry when he was eleven years old. From that day forward, he had one dream: to preach the gospel around the world before multitudes of people. In 2004 he and his wife, Sunhee, planted Lineage Church out of a deep sense of calling to raise up sons and daughters who burn to see Jesus, reflect his glory and enlarge his kingdom. With this as their core passion, the Robinsons travel the world, reproducing the revelation that God has placed in them in other pastors and churches, and establishing the body of Christ in truth wherever they go.

Pastor Taka Iguchi

Voice Church

Taka leads Voice Church with his wife, Natalie, in Orange County, California which launched in the fall of 2018. Previously he served at City First Church for 20 years which averaged over 8000 in attendance before moving to SoCal to serve as Executive Pastor for Newsong Church as they made a critical transition.

His passion is to see people connect with Christ in meaningful ways, fully live out their unique design and make a difference in their communities.

He and his wife, Natalie, have been married since 2004 and have two amazing daughters: Brooklyn and Kaia.

Pastor Kats Omine

Westlight Church

Kats has been the teaching pastor at Westlight Community Church since 2008 and enjoys finding creative ways of teaching complex theologies. As a hobby, Kats spends a lot of his time diving into books by his favorite theologians. He always goes over his sermons with his wife, Valerie, a kindergarten teacher, to ensure it is easy for all to understand. Kats and Val love to go to Disneyland (they’ve been annual pass holders since their engagement 13 years ago). They have two amazing kids, Justin and Mari.
