Vlad is the founding pastor of City Bible Church of Sacramento. He grew up in Sacramento and has a desire to see God glorified in his hometown. His prayer is that the Lord will use City Bible to be a pillar of truth in Sacramento—that this community of Christ’s followers would worship God, through making and maturing disciples. Vlad and his family have lived in Los Angeles for the last four years serving on staff at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley CA. He received his B.S. from CSUS and his Masters of Divinity from The Master’s Seminary. Vlad and his wife Olya were married in 2009 and have two daughters. Vlad was ordained and sent out by John MacArthur and the elders of Grace Community Church on January 24th 2016.
