Blazing Fire Church is ...

a church on fire with the passionate gaze of Jesus!

"His eyes are like blazing fire.” (Rev. 1:14)

It all starts with a real, ongoing, and deepening relationship with a wonderful person named Jesus who wants to show you what our Heavenly Father is really like. Jesus loves us enough that He willingly took our place, dying for sins that He never committed. Why would He do such a thing?? Simple. It’s all about love—a love that we cannot even comprehend, but one that we’ve been searching for our whole lives.

What would happen if a group of people who are in love with the Lord gathered together? What if they were desperate to see God’s Spirit move in power with miracles just like Jesus’ followers did in the Bible? What if they gave the Holy Spirit permission to do whatever He wanted to do? What if they really believed what Jesus told us to pray—that God’s Kingdom would come here on earth JUST AS IT IS in heaven? What would happen? We’ve decided to find out!

 

...But it comes with a warning: This is probably not church as you’ve known it. We come together to have encounters with God. Nothing but His presence will do! We desire to be so filled with the Lord — so filled with the Holy Spirit — so filled with the resurrection power of Jesus — so filled with the love of the Father — that we overflow with the living, powerful presence of God to the world around us.

THE PASTORS

Our Senior Pastors Brent and Suzanne Lokker have been married for 21 years and have been pastoring for 17 years. They moved to Pleasanton in 1990 after Jesus came to Brent in a dream leading them to this area. About seven years ago, the Lord spoke to Brent this very clear word: “My Spirit will sweep through this Valley with or without you. Do you want to be part of this?” His answer then and now continues to be “YES, LORD!”

They have a passion for Jesus and a desire to be part of the growing revival in this region as heaven touches earth and God's Kingdom invades our world with love, freedom and healing!  Brent & Suzanne have two children—Derek and Aaron. They are incredibly blessed and highly favored!

They have served in various ministries during the past fifteen years, but have found their home at Blazing Fire. God's presence is their top priority. They have a deep passion to see youth reach their fullest potential and to soar higher than any previous generation. God's heart is to raise up a company of forerunners who will chase after Him with wild abandon and do what they see their Father doing. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Todd's passion for intimate worship has spurred him on to draw out the treasures of young artists and musicians. There will be new sounds birthed out of this generation that will create a Heavenly symphony, transforming nations. Todd and Karena are so excited to be alive at this time in history and to watch as the Bridegroom lavishes His all consuming love over this valley.
