Alyssa grew up in Minnesota and was raised knowing Jesus. Her faith became more personal through interactions with the Holy Spirit at Vintage and has since been baptized. She is passionate about people having a personal experience of God.

Alyssa and her husband Glen have been living in LA for nearly 15 years and celebrate that God has called them to dig deep roots on the west side. She came aboard the staff team at Vintage Church in June of 2023 as Executive Director.

Before joining the staff, Alyssa, with Glen and their two sons (Will and Leo) had been a part of the Vintage Church family since 2017. Prior to diving into a life of Ministry, Alyssa worked in the tech space with 15 years of professional experience in organizational leadership, project management, and team development.
