AJ
LUCA
Weekend Service Pastor
As Weekend Service Director, AJ enjoys overseeing the worship and production teams to create an environment where people can experience the life-changing presence of God.
In addition to leading worship, AJ's experiences include performing in professional theatre, working as a jazz pianist, and earning a Bachelor's and Master's of Music at The University of the Arts, where she is now an adjunct professor. She is grateful for these diverse opportunities, but nothing compares to seeing a congregation full of people singing their hearts out in worship to God! One of AJ's biggest loves is songwriting, and she has released original music for City Life Worship and Resonate Worship, as well as solo projects. AJ and her husband Bryon live in New Jersey with their two handsome cats, Zazzles and Newman.
