Anthony has been serving in youth ministry since he was 15 years old. He has always had a passion and heart for youth and to see them have a deep connection with Jesus. "My goal as the youth leader is to be a leader or role model that I wish I had when I was younger. Our youth group is passionately in love with Jesus and has no problem inviting the Holy Spirit wherever they go! I believe our youth group is about to enter a season of exercising our faith and gifts, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to change our community, starting with the youth." 

Abelina has grown up attending New Life since 1994. She majored in dance and history throughout college and became part of a Mexican folklorico dance company in Sacramento in 2004. "I was able to use my experience in ballet and love of working with children to teach ballet classes for the Sacramento Cultural Arts Center and Group Folklorico Rincones de Mi Tierra." She met her husband, Stephone, in college and started their family in Sacramento before joining New Life as a family in 2015. They now have three sons: Alejandro, Daniel, and Miguel. She has been leading "New Life Kids Shine!" since 2019. "It was always most important to me that children get equipped with the word of God and a vocabulary for praise and worship. It’s my heart’s passion for children that they know how to demonstrate God’s love in every challenge or environment they may face and that they understand the strength and power of praise and worship in whatever capacity we are able. For this reason, we all have an opportunity to “be a light for all to see.” (Matthew 5:16)
