About Love California Church

Pastors Moisés Herrera and Pahola Marino are the founders and lead pastors of Love California Church. Their passion is simple: helping people know Jesus, grow in their faith, and discover God’s purpose for their lives.

Pastor Moisés was born in Phoenix, Arizona, into a pastor’s home that planted a deep love for God in him from childhood. A musician, worshiper, and preacher, he has spent more than twenty years in pastoral ministry — planting churches, developing leaders, and faithfully teaching God’s Word. Pastora Pahola was born in Venezuela and grew up in a family devoted to ministry as the daughter of minister and musician Stanislao Marino. She began ministering through music at eight years old, traveling with her family to many countries to share the hope of Jesus Christ through preaching and worship.

Married in 1995, Moisés and Pahola served together for over twenty years in pastoral ministry in Arizona, followed by ten years of evangelistic and music ministry in churches and communities far and wide. In response to God’s call they moved to Temecula, California, where in February 2024 they founded Love California Church — and have watched God transform lives, restore families, and raise up a community passionate about Jesus.

Their conviction: no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace — in Christ, every life can be restored and transformed. We would love to meet you and welcome you home.

We are non-denominational and Bible-centered. We believe in one God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; that Jesus died and rose again so that anyone can be made right with God by grace through faith; and that the church exists to love God, love people, and make disciples.
