Our Team
Simi Covenant is blessed with leaders committed to Jesus Christ and to who God is calling this church to be. Our leadership areas include: the Leadership Team, which provides executive leadership for our congregation; Pastoral and Church Staff; and many other leaders act as committee chairs and liaisons. You can send a message to any of the leaders or staff via info@simicovenant.org.
Staff
JENNIFER BOESHAAR
Coordinator of Children’s Ministry
Jenn is eager to see that all our kids get a good experience as they learn to love Jesus and get connected to other kids in the church family. She’s never met a pet she doesn’t love.
DAVID CHUN
Director of Youth Ministry
A San Fernando Valley native, David has served in several churches in the area and came to Simi Cov in August 2022. David wants others to join him on the journey with Christ. Others appreciate David’s sensitive heart for those around him. He also brings good snacks.
CHRISTY DAY
Church Administrator
Christy is the voice of Simi Covenant ensuring the front office is a well-oiled machine. Although most people immediately see what an asset she is in organizing the chaos, the wisdom and people care she brings to the staff team is equally invaluable.
KURT MORRILL
Lead Pastor
Prior to moving to Simi Valley, Kurt worked in college student ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (9 of those years in France with Groupes Bibliques Universitaires). He is married to Karyn and is the father of two. He loves different cultures and enjoy speaking French and Spanish with friends from around the world. While church members keep praying he’ll become a Dodger fan, his affinity for tacos is incontrovertible.
JASON RETANA
Director of Worship
Jason has been leading worship for over 25 years in the Greater Los Angeles area. He is passionate about music and its ability to enhance our encounters with God. Outside of worship, Jason's musical background includes film score, jazz arranging, and opera performance. He is even occasionally funny.
AMANDA RICHINS
Director of Children’s Ministry
Amanda wants to make it easy for kids and their families to connect with God, each other, and our faith community. She also hopes volunteers experience joy and spiritual growth as they serve in this ministry. Some of her favorite things include: her husband and 2 kids, black nitro cold brew (she felt pressured to put her family 1st on this list), laughing, making things look pretty, and all things peanut.
Leadership Team
We are so grateful for Simi Covenant's Leadership Team! This group serves our church selflessly -- praying, being stewards of the budget, and seeking to forward the mission.
