Bella Deffenbacher

Bella was born and spent her entire Pre-Visalia life in Phoenix, Arizona, brought up in the church as a part of a musical family faithfully dedicated to serving in Worship Ministry. This exposure to worship and music at a young age gave her a head start musically and revealed her calling early as she began to lead worship on her own as a sixth grader. This experience led Bella to take lead in her youth group and school worship teams as a high schooler and to lead the student worship team at Grand Canyon University as a college student, all while maintaining an on staff position at her church in Chandler, Arizona for 8 years.

Bella and her husband Blake got married in October of 2023, and shortly after made the move from Paradise Valley, Arizona to Visalia to take on her position at PIPELINE.CHURCH. As new Visalians, Bella and Blake enjoy trying new local restaurants and occasionally slipping away to the beach or mountains. When you don’t see Bella on stage, she’s likely trying a new coffee shop, at a workout class, or hanging out with their Basset Hound puppy, Rigby.

As the Worship Director at PIPELINE.CHURCH, Bella leads the churches 20+ Worship Team Members, develops younger musicians, and creates powerful and meaningful worship experiences for the congregation of PIPELINE.CHURCH. Her favorite part of her job is the community that is nurtured through Worship with a shared passion to lead people in worship. As she develops the churches worship ministry, Bella hopes to help people develop their skills as musicians, as well as show them their value as leaders in the church.
