Randy Balling

Pastor Randy received the call and came to be Grace Point’s Lead Pastor in 2017. A SoCal native, Randy spent his childhood in Orange County and moved inland to Rancho Cucamonga during middle school. He graduated from Etiwanda High School and received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Cal State San Bernardino. He acquired his master’s degree from The International School of Theology.

Pastor Randy and his wife Christine have been married for 25 years. Christine also graduated from Cal State San Bernardino and currently works at Cal Baptist University. She also serves as a volunteer Worship Leader at Grace Point. Randy and Christine have three children, a cat, a bearded dragon and a Doxie dog that Randy says,"thinks he owns the house!" In his spare time, Pastor Randy enjoys nature hikes, playing the piano and watching sunsets at Laguna Beach while eating gelato with Christine.

Maggie Okino

Maggie joined the Grace Point staff in January 2019. Pastor Randy was her pastor for over 7 years in Modesto, CA until God called him and his family back to Southern California to pastor here at Grace Point Fellowship. In 2018 Maggie's husband passed away and God called her to come to Grace Point to be an assistant to Pastor Randy. Maggie has 3 grown children, twin sons and a daughter. She loves serving people and praying for others, as prayer truly changes lives and situations!

Jamie Endres

Jamie began at Grace Point in 2019 as Administrative Assistant to the team, helping with communications and bookkeeping. After years of volunteering in Children's Ministry, Jamie felt a tugging on her heart to jump all the way in and accept the position of Children's Ministry Director here at Grace Point. Her desire is that all kids that attend Grace Point, whether it's at Awana, VBS, or a Sunday morning, would not just hear and accept the Gospel, but deepen their faith so they are prepared to face the challenges that this world will throw at them when they are older. Her goal is to equip them with a solid, Biblical worldview and to teach them to truly love like Jesus.

Jamie moved from Fontana to Yucaipa with her family when she was 12. She began attending Grace Point in college with her boyfriend (now husband) Josh and became an official member in 2018. Now she and Josh are raising their 3 kids here in Yucaipa and enjoy family camping trips, fishing, off-roading and hiking.
