Born and raised in Los Angeles, Edward Rivera now calls Sacramento, Northern California, home. He first began performing in high school at age 16 and started leading worship at 17 when he felt called to reach the marginalized, the prodigals, and the unreached. After graduating high school, Rivera attended LABI, a Bible college in Los Angeles, where he joined a traveling worship choir. This eventually led to a six-year career on the road, singing background vocals for well-known worship artists and ministries on tour before stepping into his role as a lead artist.

I could go on and on about how amazing Pastor Steve is. Still, nothing compares to his Christ-like characteristics and his willingness to serve God. I thank God every day for leading me to be a part of this amazing church and be a part of the lives of Steve’s amazing family.
