Fern and Ariana Gamboa
Children’s Ministry Directors
Our life of serving our Lord began 12 years ago at a local outreach Church where we learned the real meaning of being the hands and feet of Jesus. With sincere hearts, we are thankful to direct and serve the children and families of Bridgeway Church.
