Pastors & Ministry Leaders

Jeremy Dente

Lead Pastor

Pastor Jeremy has served FBCAC since 2009. He was ordained in 2014 and served as pastor of youth ministry, until taking over as lead pastor in February of 2020.  When he's not involved with church ministry, he's busy working on his MTS through Gateway Theological Seminary, or he can be found on the golf course or on the basketball court as a men's college basketball referee. Pastor Jeremy is married to his beautiful Monica, and they have three amazing children - Kallen, Jadyn, and Mavrick, one awesome son-in-law, Jacob, and one perfect little grandson - Dawson Anthony.

Derek Hogg

Outreach Ministry/Young Adult Ministry Leader

Derek comes to FBCAC with a wealth of life and ministry experience. Born and raised in southern California, Derek spent most of his formative years in Hawaii, on the beautiful island of Kauai. That's where God called Derek to a life with Jesus and to serve him in ministry. Derek served as a youth leader and had various teaching responsibilities at Calvary Chapel, Lihue. In 2018, God called Derek  to Baltimore, Maryland where he served in mercy ministry at a Southern Baptist church plant. His many experiences in his time in Baltimore only prepared him for a new season of life and ministry when God called him to move to Angels Camp in 2022 and become a part of the FBCAC family. Derek currently serves in a variety of areas, including outreach ministry, young adults and youth ministry, as well as taking on teaching and preaching responsibilities. In his free time, Derek is an avid movie-goer and a total Bible-nerd!

Glenn Moore

Deacon

Pastor Glenn, along with his wife Pam, has been with FBCAC since 2005. Glenn brings a heart of selfless service and unwavering commitment to the FBCAC family. He has many years of experience in men's ministry, and currently assists in a variety of areas in the life of the church. His love for ministry and service towards others is only matched by his passion for cooking!

Peggy Harwell 

Deacon

Peggy and her parents and sister were charter members when FBCAC was founded in 1964. While her parents are now with Jesus in glory, Peggy continues to serve  the church in which she grew up in a variety of ways. From VBS to the nursery to community events, Peggy serves with a heart of humility and a strong desire for the lost to find a saving relationship with Jesus.
