Our Team · Tekoa Church in Willow Glen, San Jose
Meet the Tekoa Church Team
We’re a small, volunteer-powered church in Willow Glen. Our pastors and elders would love to meet you on a Sunday.
Lead Pastors
Austin and Alli Anderson
Pastors Austin and Alli have been married since 2015 and they have two daughters (Hannah and Rylie). They saw the growth of the tech industry in San Jose and developed a desire to see the expansion of the church exceed that growth. They have a passion for people and seeing them grow in their faith journey and as leaders.
Austin has felt a call to be a pastor since his senior year of high school and pursued that through education with a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell, and through ministry opportunities throughout the world. God’s direction has become more focused over time, first to California as a whole and now to the city of San Jose. While in California, he met Alli and they have been doing ministry together ever since.
Alli has had a passion for missions and ministry since college and God has been deepening that call as she helps lead Tekoa Church and especially Tekoa Kids. God led them to move to San Jose in 2016 to start a church there. Since living in San Jose, God has affirmed the calling to start Tekoa Church to reach those who don’t know Jesus and disciple leaders who can go into the world to multiply God’s kingdom.
