Jack Rager (Church Planting Strategist)
In 1983 Jack and his wife surrendered their lives to follow the Lord Jesus wherever He would have them go. That journey has taken them to serve as a Pastor in Oklahoma, as a church planter in Sierra Leone West Africa, Strategy Coordinator in a South Asian country and Strategy Associate for South Asia with the International Mission Board. Today that Journey has taken them to Los Angeles to help develop partnerships to start churches among the most unreached and neglected peoples in the city. Jack's heart’s desire is to be on Mission with the Lord and passionately follow wherever He will lead.

Robby Bolden (Church Health and Growth Consultant)
In the later part of 2008, the San Fernando Valley SBA created the position of Church Health and Growth Consultant (CHGC) in order to encourage and equip local churches towards health. This is NOT another evangelistic program. The emphasis is on healthy churches – healthy churches produce healthy disciples… and healthy disciples reproduce themselves.
Robby Bolden became the Lead Pastor of FSB Glendale in April of 2007. His primary responsibility is for the overall leadership of the church and for the teaching on Sunday. He is married to Traci and they have three sweet daughters Kristen, Kaitlyn and Hannah.
Robby has been pastoring since 1988 and loves seeing people become all that God created them to be. He knows that the only hope for the world is the local church and strives to create an atmosphere at FSB Glendale that will allow anyone to come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Robby received his Bachelor’s Degree from East Texas Baptist University and has his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Robby is standing by ready to assist our churches and pastors in any way he can. He can be reached by phone at 818-979-3367 or by e-mail at robbybolden@gmail.com.
