Pastor Mike followed an unusual path to get where he is today. After a couple of years of college in his home state of Texas, he joined a Christian repertory theater company in 1984 called Covenant Players. More than just a traveling thespian, Covenant Players gave Mike the opportunity to serve as a full-time missionary all across the United States and twelve other countries around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, and Pakistan. After fifteen years on the road, Mike and his wife Asta (a Covenant Player from New Zealand) settled down in Santa Rosa.
Rosalynn grew up in church in Bakersfield, CA. She always felt like ministry would be a part of her life. She attended Patten University where she met Trevor Harper and first heard about Stony Point Christian Fellowship. She graduated in 2002 with her B.A. in Liberal Studies. She then went on to receive her California Teaching Credential in Elementary Education from Point Loma Nazarene University. During her time at Point Loma, she kept in touch with Trevor, and in January of 2004 she was offered the position of Children’s Pastor at SPCF. She accepted the position and moved to Santa Rosa that February.
Pastor Trevor grew up at SPCF and has been involved in its many ministries from a young age. After high school he attended Santa Rosa Junior College and volunteered in the youth ministry. It was during this time that he began to feel God calling him to be involved in full-time ministry. After much prayer and searching, Trevor went to Patten University where he pursued a degree in Youth Ministry. Once he completed his degree, he gladly returned home to become the full-time Youth Pastor.

Our Staff :
Pastor James & Tammy Harper – Senior Pastor
Pastor James Harper has been ministering at Stony Point Christian Fellowship since 1981. It would be difficult to know Pastor Harper outside his relationship with his wife, Tammy. They met at West Coast Christian College in Fresno, CA and married in 1978. He grew up in Tennessee and she in Idaho. They have a son, Trevor, and a daughter, Aubrey. Both are married to wonderful spouses. Pastor Harper and Tammy are also blessed with 5 fabulous grandchildren. Home and family are a very important priority to the Harpers. .
Pastor Harper and Tammy have been partners in ministry from their first church service in Santa Rosa in June of 1981. This is the first and only church that Pastor Harper has served. His commitment to Sonoma County is deeply rooted in the friendships and relationships he has built through the years. From the days of the church baseball and basketball teams to the fulfillment of his dream to have a viable and successful basketball league for elementary and jr. high school kids, Pastor Harper’s love of sports has truly been instrumental in the development of his ministry and the growth of the church family. Tammy has been there all along the way to fill whatever role was needed. Today her welcoming smile is usually the first thing you would see coming in the church doors on a Sunday morning. .
Pastor Harper has a unique ability to bring the Scriptures to life and make them apply to daily living. His leadership and guidance through quality teaching and preaching is held as one of the most significant blessings God has bestowed on this church family. He is also an insightful counselor and has a compassionate heart for those who are finding their way to Christ.
Pastor Mike Edlin – Administration and Adult Ministries
.
With Asta’s loving, moral, and financial support and with her encouragement, Mike completed his Associates and Bachelor’s degrees and went to work in the Human Resources field, which clearly prepared him for the position God had planned for him in church ministry. He still works part-time at his job with Lucasfilm while Asta continues to help support the family with her job at Sonoma County Superior Court. .
Pastor Mike and Asta, with their son Sean (born in 2003), have served in various capacities at Stony Point Christian Fellowship since 1998 and feel truly blessed to be a part of the SPCF family.
Pastor Rosalynn Harper – Children’s Ministries
.
Rosalynn oversees the ministry to the children from nursery age through fifth grade. Her goals are to be an extension of the family and partner with them in teaching their children the Word of God. She also wants to provide the best learning environments for children, so they will grow in faith by knowing, experiencing, and accepting the genuine love of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Trevor Harper – Youth Ministries
.
In February of 2004 Trevor’s college friend Rosalynn joined the staff at SPCF as Children’s Pastor and the two married. They now have three beautiful children, Malachi, Abigail and Zion. Pastor Trevor loves being involved with ministry to Jr. and Sr. High School students. His greatest goal is to help them grow in their knowledge and understanding of Christ.

Wendy initially visited to see a Sunday evening drama performance, came for Sunday service the following week with her family, and they decided they had found their new church home. .
Since joining SPCF, Scott and Wendy were blessed with a son, Jackson, in 2005. Jackson comes to work at God’s house every day with mom. .
