“My favorite thing is being able to watch the change that takes place in women from being nervous and shy at their very first Bible Study meeting to the rich place of connection, belonging, and confidence that emerges by the end of that Bible Study season. Only God can do that!”
Fun fact: Kasey spent a few years cultivating flowers as a farmer-florist before cultivating women’s hearts 👩🌾

Superpower: Attention to Detail
Pipeline.Church has been shaped in countless ways by Cindy’s incredibly detail-oriented mind. She notices the little things most people miss, which is wonderful for the church and mildly concerning if you’ve moved something without asking. It’s a gift. Mostly. 😉
Bella Deffenbacher is the Worship Director at Pipeline.Church, married to Blake Deffenbacher and mom to her furry babies, Rigby and Rosanna.
“I'm so thankful Pipeline.Church has given me the opportunity to lead worship as God has called me to. If you were to tell 11 year old worship leading Bella that this would be her life, she wouldn't have believed you! This place is our home away from home. The community we have found here is next level and these are our people!”
Fun fact: She’s always dreamed of living at the beach. So naturally, she moved to Tulare. (Same fresh air, slightly more cow. 🐄)
Rachel Trigueiro is the Communications Director at Pipeline.Church, married to James and mom to Lincoln, Wren, Quincy & Goldie.

Fun fact: She spent her childhood hating change, and God apparently thought, “Oh, she’s going to love this.” 😂 As an adult, thirteen moves, three states, and three countries later… here we are.

“I love getting to see God work in the lives of kids at every age and watching them grow in their faith.”
Fun fact: Jordyn was originally spelled Jordan until a classroom mix-up landed her with the boys’ class. She switched to Jordyn in 8th grade and made it official in college. No more mistaking this girl for a boy! 🙋♀️

Spend a day with me and you’ll see a guy who gives every ounce of strength every single day to lead my family and Pipeline.Church where He wants us to go.”
