After serving in other churches for many years, Nicholas and Krista felt convicted to do ministry a little different. They moved to San Luis Obispo in 2019 with a vision to launch High Street Church. 

Nicholas has always had a deep desire for growth and understanding to better serve God’s people. He is an accredited Spiritual Director through Sustainable Faith and holds a Master’s degree from New Hope University.

Krista is also an ordained pastor. In addition to her role pastoring High Street Church, she serves as a bilingual paraeducator at a local school, reaching and supporting the community in meaningful ways.

Both Nicholas and Krista were raised in the church, but through their experiences, they have seen how, at times, the church has misrepresented the true heart of Jesus. Their mission is to create a community that reflects God’s heart—one of love, grace, and open arms—where all are welcomed and embraced.
