About Elliot
Elliot is the elder over administration at City Light, which involves managing finances and leading the administration team, which plans events and takes care of all the little details that make a church run. As an elder, he oversees the small group ministry by providing training and guidance to the small group leaders during the year, and he also oversees the music and tech teams.
After growing up in a churchgoing family, Elliot became a Christian during his freshman year at UCLA (go Bruins!) after God showed him that even though he believed in the facts of the gospel, he had not submitted his heart and life to Jesus' leadership. While at UCLA, he studied statistics, met his wife Sophia, and went on many short-term missions trips to Malawi, Africa. Elliot and Sophia lived in Malawi for a year to support the ministry of Central African Preaching Academy, which trains pastors to study, practice, and teach God's Word. Since returning to the US, Elliot works for Amazon as a technical program manager.
In his free time, you’ll find Elliot making coffee or baking with Sophia. Or he'll be reading or watching YouTube videos about one of his many, many interests, including but not limited to: coffee, woodworking, fountain pens, photography, and music.
