A fabulous Christian Church in Orange, California
Orange Coast Community Church
What I believe
My name is Rick Rzeszewski. For the past 32 years I've had the privilege of pastoring Orange Coast Community Church. I'm 71 years of age and I thought it would be good to leave behind a legacy, so that people could know, not simply what I believe, but why I believe it. That will be the topic that will occupy our attention in our two sessions together.

We recognize that helping our children and youth understand who God is, will make a powerful impact in their lives.
We are blessed to have fantastic pastors who obviously care for the congregation and who diligently and consistently work to help us learn and appreciate the Word of God.
Rick Rzeszewski Was born in Tacoma, WA in 1952 and grew up in Virginia. Rick was born into a military family and his father eventually was stationed in Hawaii. That exposed Rick to the ocean and the waves, which became one of Rick's passions.
In 1965 Rick became a Christian and eventually, attended Biola University and later received a Masters degree in Divinity from Talbot Theological Seminary in 1980, Rick has lead five different churches, and he has been the pastor at Orange Coast Community Church for the last 28 years.
Dave Tursini is from Youngstown Ohio. His family came to California when he was in Junior High. During his youth, Dave made some choices that led him down a dark life, away from God and he considers it miraculous that he is not only alive, but of sound mind today. He gives glory to God for those gifts.
Upon becoming a Christian, Pastor Dave made it his priority to study the Bible with all his might. Today, we recognize him as a man who loves Jesus and has great ability to help the congregation discover the Word.
Jeremiah Batson has served as the Youth Pastor at Orange Coast Community Church since 2018. He comes to us full of enthusiasm for the young people and has served in similar roles with the Presbyterian church and at Harvest Fellowship where Greg Laurie serves as the Pastor.
Jeremiah is a teacher in mixed marital arts and has won a few black belts in his competitions. He has an upbeat, positive attitude. He is also a solid bible teacher and he loves to engage in various activities with the youth. Jeremiah also engages in regular outreach to the youth at Villa Park High School. He is a welcome addition to our Ministry Team.
