Our Team

Josh Carman
Josh joined our staff in May of 2024 as our Lead Pastor. Josh was a minister in the Southern California area for nearly 15 years. Originally from the Philippines, he majored in Biblical Studies at Hope International University. He then went on to attend Pepperdine University and Fuller Seminary graduating with an MA in Theology. He is married to his wife Angelica since 2015 and they have two amazing kiddos, Sophia and Joshua Jr.




Sofia was originally born in Northern California, however, her upbringing was in Orlando, Florida. She has a knack for living around large bodies of water and considers herself a coastal baby. Recently she has moved back to her roots from Southern California where she called home the past 8 years.
She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theology from Epic Bible College in Sacramento and minored in kinesiology. She has had the honor of working in full-time ministry for over a decade for multiple houses and hearts, from overseeing missions to youth, young adults, worship. Called into full-time ministry at age 18, she has been relentless in her pursuit to see hearts and lives fully restored and healed through passionate worship, building of teams, speaking God’s truth, and gathering community. It’s been said that the first time you meet her, you’ll feel like you’ve known each other for years. Also, coffee is one of her love languages!


Zac grew up in Dicovery Bay going to church, wakeboarding, and playing every water sport imaginable. He graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2011 with a degree in Philosophy. He felt called to ministry when he was 25 years old, after falling in love with how philosophy helped him to see God. Zac began to work in ministry with the hope of showing the same truth about God to students. He is married to Sarah and they have a dog named Charlie. Zac is a passionate 49ers fan and during the pandemic has become quite good at playing Minecraft.

Rachel has been with Crosswinds for over three years now and has been in Events and Hospitality Roles for over eight years. It is her joy and privilege to help you create a beautiful and meaningful event here at Crosswinds, whether that is a wedding, a multi day conference, worship night, and everything in between. When she's not at work, she enjoys spending time in God's creation, making memories with friends and family, and eating delicious meals from around the world. Her favorite Bible verse is Numbers 6:24-26.


Sarah had been a Southern California native and worked in churches in Los Angeles until moving up here to Livermore and joining CrossWinds staff in 2019. She has a bachelor's degree in youth ministry and a master's degree in counseling ministry, and loves deep conversation and listening well.
She's an avid reader who always has at least one book in her purse, loves dogs and running, and could eat pizza for every meal. She loves people, connecting over good coffee and great conversations, and never tires of reminding her community about the abundance of God's grace.
Sarah met her husband, Zac, at CrossWinds in 2019, they were married during COVID in 2020, and currently live in Pleasanton with their adorable dog Charlie.
