What is Fusion - Staff



  Aron Gibson
Pastor of Fusion

I have lived in Los Angeles for much of my life, graduating from Arcadia H.S., and later from UCLA with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Philosophy.
 As a college student, I experienced the great love and grace of God, and I began to sense a call to serve and lead in the local church with my whole life.
My wife, Mary Robin, and I first came to Christian Assembly in 1998, just three months after getting married.  We gathered some friends and began leading a life group as well as working with young adults in the college ministry. In 2004, I joined the CA staff to help launch Fusion and the Café, Soon afterwards I completed my graduate studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, and in 2009 became the Lead Pastor for the Fusion community.
I have 4 wonderful children, love the outdoors, and hope one day to be a master organic gardener.  I love helping young adults discover God¹s purpose for their lives and engaging in God's kingdom work throughout the city of Los Angeles.  Most of all I am passionate about people experiencing the deep love of God, discovering that He is nearer than they ever imagine.

  Jill Kochendorfer
Community Life Pastor

Born and raised in the L.A. area, I graduated from Westmont College in Santa Barbara with an English major and Religious Studies minor.  For as long as I can remember, I have known and followed Jesus – but it wasn’t until my mid-twenties that I began to sense God’s invitation to vocational ministry in the local church.
In 2005, I began attending Christian Assembly and quickly fell in love with this place – the people and the mission.  I count it a great privilege to serve as a Fusion Community Life Pastor – helping young adults to connect with one another and with God
.
I love helping people to discover how God has uniquely created them and how he wants to use them in the world.  I especially enjoy helping people to pay attention to God’s voice and presence in their lives.  In my free time, I love meeting new people, hanging out with friends, and hosting events and game nights.

Lex Anderson
Fusion Administrative Assistant

I was born and raised in San Diego and graduated from San Diego Christian College with a degree in Youth Ministry and a Psychology minor. I knew early on that I wanted to serve in full-time ministry and directly after college began working at a church with youth. I spent some time in missions with YWAM and most recently worked in camp ministry with Forest Home Christian Camps.

I have always loved and believed in the local church and I began to have a desire to once again work full-time in that capacity. It was around this time that I first visited CA. I feel very blessed and privileged to be able to work here with such amazing people and for a church with such great vision.

I love connecting with people and hearing their stories. I believe community is crucial to the Christian Life and I love living this messy and beautiful journey of following Jesus with others.

Albert Kim
Community Life Pastor

I was born and raised in Southern California growing up mainly in Cerritos and graduating from UCLA. During my collegiate years, I experienced the grace of God and decided to follow Jesus as a freshman. After finishing up my degree in American Literature and Culture, I worked at an advertising agency but then felt the call to go into vocational ministry.

While serving in college ministries, I began my studies at Fuller Theological Seminary which is where I met my wife, Grace. We got married in 2003 and have two jovial kids, Chloe and Cole. I joined the CA staff in 2009 as a Community Life Pastor and prior worked in the pastoral and business fields.

I really enjoy connecting with people and hearing their life stories especially on how God has impacted them deeply. I have a passion for discipleship, leadership and team development. I also like drinking coffee, watching films, and laughing with friends.
