Welcome to Our Team Page!

We are honored to introduce the church team at Peace Way Christian Center, led by Pastor David L. Childers.

Afternoon Service A/V Tech 


Hey! My name is Tyler Nguyen, and I happily help out with the sound and audio systems in the sound booth each Sunday afternoon. It is my pleasure to serve the Lord in this church! In my educational background, I received a Certificate in Christian Apologetics from Biola University in 2025, and I am currently pursuing an associate’s degree in general studies at Newlane University, with the eventual goal of earning a bachelor’s degree. In my personal life, I enjoy listening to music, laughing at memes, and discussing pretty much anything, from human history to astrophysics. Although I may be behind a sound booth most of the time, feel free to stop by and say hi whenever possible!

Hi, my name is Aileen Paule, and I have been coming to this church since July 2021. My family moved here from California with my son and daughter. I graduated with an Associate of Arts degree in 2023, prior to becoming a certified Pharmacy technician. 

I love to sing and cook. I have been to missions and am now serving as a staff member at Vision School. 

I thank Pastors David and Madeline for my kids growing up in this church. Thank you, Lord, for Peace Way Christian Church for giving me a purpose to participate. God bless, and I hope you find your purpose in Christ, too. Amen!
