Jan Stambaugh

Biblical Counseling

My name is Jan Stambaugh. For the past 20 years I have been working to bring healing and hope to women who are hurting, broken, and stuck. Regardless of whether the circumstance is trauma, difficult relationships, loss, or other impactful events, I am committed to helping women move forward as victors, rather than victims. I have a passionate desire for women to experience the abundant life Christ intends for us - one filled with joy, peace and purpose. Instead of simply surviving my own painful life experiences, I’ve experienced triumph as I’ve trusted Jesus through very dark times. It is my greatest privilege and joy to share the truths I’ve learned with others.

God doesn’t waste your wounds; He rebuilds your life through them!

Lisa Tafoya, D.Min. - counseling sessions offered at the Sacramento Campus only

Doctor of Ministry in Apostolic Leadership

Many people struggle with a wide range of issues that hinder their relationships, both in public and in private settings. God desires for us to know who we are in Him. We all have a testimony, and there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Every person has DESTINY and PURPOSE, is made in the IMAGE OF GOD, and is called into the BODY OF CHRIST. My goal is to bring healing and revelation through God’s Love by understanding Scripture, listening, forgiveness, repentance, and alignment. No matter who you are, what you have been through, or where you are in life. God sees you and is intimately aware of you. YOU ABSOLUTELY MATTER. When the Holy Spirit has permission to work out the things in us that do not align with the Bible, miracles start happening! Jesus gave His Life for us so that we can live according to His perfect will. Come, let us reason together so we can defeat the enemy through the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Let’s conquer the enemy that has been trying to conquer you!

George Adaza- counseling sessions offered at the Sacramento Campus Only

My name is George Adaza. I was born and raised in Southern California. My life would best be described by various chapters. My early childhood was marked by physical and verbal abuse. I joined the military immediately after graduating high school. I served four years in the US Air Force. In 1970, I married my first wife, our marriage ended after 20 years because of marital unfaithfulness on her part, as painful and difficult as the first part of my life was at times, I can testify to God's faithfulness and see his hand over my life the entire time. In 1992, I remarried and have been happily married to my wife Celia, for 34 years now; we attended a church in Elk Grove for 32 years. During this time, we were home group leaders for nearly 20 years; we served on prayer teams and were involved in men’s and women’s ministries. God gave us the opportunity to see many wonderful miracles during this time by praying with and encouraging couples and individuals experiencing the trials of life.
