A Multicultural Church for Lake County
PASTORS JAY & SONIA ENGLISH
Jay and Sonia English serve as the Lead Pastors of Garden City Church. Together, they are passionate about helping people encounter Jesus and discover their God-given purpose.
With years of ministry experience and a heart for reaching those who may feel overlooked, disconnected, or far from God, they are committed to building a multicultural church where people are formed by Jesus, filled with His Spirit, and empowered to live on mission.
Beyond the platform, Jay and Sonia are passionate about strengthening families, developing leaders, and equipping people to use their gifts to make a lasting impact in their homes, neighborhoods, and communities. They have one daughter and are honored to serve alongside the people of Garden City as they bring hope to Lake County and beyond.
