John Dabeck
Young Adults Pastor
My wife Claire and I moved here from South Carolina in April of 2023. I have the joy of leading our Young Adults (18-29) Ministry here at Canyon Hills. I grew up in an Army family moving across the country until I landed at Columbia International University in South Carolina. It was there that I met the love of my life Claire and where I discovered my passion for ministry. After serving a short stint in the Army Reserve Chaplaincy and founding a Young Adult Ministry in SC, Claire and I knew the Lord was leading us to plant more permanent roots in ministry…and he led us here to the Evergreen State! I love talking about my savior, my family, and Army Football (Beat navy)!
Solvej Lourens
Ministry Assistant
I grew up in Vancouver, Washington where I came to know and love the Lord at a young age, completely devoting my life to Him when I was 17. Then went off to college at Grand Canyon University where I studied Entrepreneurship and Christian Studies. Over the summers, God led me to work at a Christian summer camp, spend a few months in Costa Rica serving women in poverty, and eventually move back to Washington! I started at Canyon Hills in 2024 and became the Young Adults Ministry Assistant Spring of 2025. I love Jesus, His people, and His creation. If you see me, say hello! I would love to meet you.
Mark Moody
Worship Leader
II grew up in Bothell WA—literally down the street! I am so grateful to have had an early introduction to Christ by my family. Jesus saved me in elementary school, at a summer camp where his Spirit transformed well known stories to well-believed truths in my heart. Music has been in my life just about as long as Jesus has.
I started piano in kindergarten, got bored (shocker), and then spent the next several years bouncing between instruments. Don’t get me wrong, I have always loved music, I just craved for the music I played to be fueled by purpose. Serving on the Varsity worship team here was how the Lord provided that. As a high school senior intern, I fell in love with leading worship, and eventually pursued a Bachelor’s in Worship Arts. I graduated from Grand Canyon University in 2024, just a few months before marrying my lovely wife, Bella. I first came on staff at Canyon Hills as a Worship Resident, and now I get the joy of serving as a full-time Worship Leader. When I’m not in the office, I’m hanging out with Bella and our son Elijah. I’m a simple man: give me a good burger and a fun game night, and we will be best friends for life. Bonus points if you vibe with Star Wars (my obsession stopped being “cute” years ago, causing my dog’s name to be Lucas and robot to live in my office). YA is one of my favorite places to be. I love how hungry this ministry is for God, how sincere the worship is, and how quickly people become family. I’m humbled to be part of it and excited to keep growing, serving, and worshiping alongside this incredibly genuine community.
