MEET OUR STAFF
Our core leaders are here to help, guide, and be the kind of servants that Jesus exemplified.
PASTORS
Russell Butch Diwa
Senior Pastor
Pastor Butch brings a heartfelt commitment to clear, faithful, biblical teaching and preaching. With a passion for Scripture and deep love for people, he seeks to make the truths of the Bible understandable and transformative. A thoughtful student of culture, Pastor Butch is devoted to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with every people group. He meets individuals where they are to form intentional friendships - finding connection points through sports and recreation, music, and social media. Pastor Butch also enjoys retreating into the world of good books. He is joyfully married to his beloved wife Manel, and together they’re blessed with wonderful
daughters and a growing number of grandchildren who keep life delightfully busy and full.
Robert Gutierrez
Associate Pastor - Christian Maturity
Pastor Rob desires to see all who walk through the doors of our church to know God, and to delight in the gospel. His passion consists of teaching the glorious riches of the Trinity, as well as the robust truths of the Reformation. His lovely wife Imee and “guapo” son Josiah are the two biggest joys of his heart. Pastor Rob’s favorite pastimes include nature walks, traveling with his family, and spoiling his very cute (but feisty) Jack Russell Terrier Wish Bone.​
ELDERS
Glenn Ramilo
As Member Care Elder, Glenn is fervent in helping each person at BCC grow deeper in their walk with Christ — joyful, thriving, and using their spiritual gifts to bless others.
When he’s not serving at church, you might find Glenn on the tennis court working on his backhand, or cruising around town with an audiobook playing in the background. His faithful beagle Bucky keeps things lively at home. Glenn is happily married to his lovely wife, Ria, and together they’re proud parents of two amazing sons: Jonathan (married to Abby) and Jeremy (married to Sarah).
Jun Sopoco
Jun is the Chairman of the Board of Elders and is devoted to helping the church stay united and focused on fulfilling her vision. Contrary to popular belief, Jun manages to smile from time to time – especially when he can bowl, play pickleball, or go overlanding. He and his wife Arleen are blessed with five children: Aaron, Myleen, Christian (married to Molly), Sarah (married to Jeremy), and Tiffany. He bursts with pride when people say his grand-daughter Penny looks like him.
Voltaire Pineda
Voltaire has a big heart for discipleship and mentoring men - helping them grow as leaders who love the Lord. When he’s not pouring into others, you’ll find him laughing with his wife, Lorelei and their kids Taylor and Dillon – off on an adventure, hiking a trail, exploring a new city or local eats. He’s always up for a good conversation about God, family, or the best travel spots. Just say HI and he’ll be glad to connect!
David Talaguit
David wrote his very first worship song at 18 after he asked God, “Teach me to worship you.” That is still the cry of his heart – for himself and the people he leads in worship. David is celebrating almost thirty years in music education – and still gets giddy when thinking about his students. Look him up on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter) and Pinterest where he shares his original compositions and artwork – all inspired by Scriptures and sermons.
YOUTH MINISTRY
Zion Gasilan
Youth Director
​Zion has a passionate desire to see the next generation come to know Christ personally, grow deeply in their faith, and boldly live out the gospel in every area of their lives. He gets a charge out of discussing deep questions about faith with the youth. His idea of a good time is to play all kinds of sports with the young ones, or go hiking or biking with his oh-so supportive wife Kezia and their precocious son Zion Obadiah.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE
Beth Reodica
Executive Assistant to the Pastor
Beth wants to make her life count for God’s eternal purpose and glory by sharing the love of Jesus to as many people as she can. Spending time with her family, and serving the children and the elderly are particularly meaningful to her. She has a big laugh and energy to match!
