Pastors and Worship Leaders
As pastors and church staff, we are here to connect with you, care for you, and help you develop your relationship with Jesus Christ. That means being available to listen to, talk with, pray for, and worship beside you. It means guiding those who seek truth and transformation to the One who freely gives those things. And it means being present to meet the spiritual needs of people wherever they are—whether in church, homes, hospital beds, prison cells, office buildings, coffee houses, or on the streets.

Hanz Ives Worship Leader
I grew up going to church but never had a relationship with the Lord. During my teens I began to work as a musician and unfortunately fell into the stereotypical lifestyle of the musician; drug and alcohol abuse and late nights with the wrong crowd. In hindsight I can see it now but at the time I didn't recognize that I was on a spiritual search, trying to fill the "God shaped hole" in my life with things that could never work including false religions.
It was during this time that I met my soon to be wife Debbie. In 1987 Debbie and I moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Southern California to pursue a songwriting/recording career. Through a series of God ordained circumstances my wife and I came to know and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
In 1993 I began serving with Pastor Greg at his Monday Night Study at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. In August of 1997 I became the full-time worship leader at Harvest.
