Lead Pastor

Status:
Full-Time, Salaried

Active Church is a vibrant, non-denominational Christian church located in the heart of San Luis Obispo, CA, along California’s Central Coast. Since launching in 2017 under the leadership of Lead Pastor Adam Magaña and his wife Stacy, Active Church has experienced steady growth and spiritual momentum, becoming a life-giving church known for authentic community, passionate worship, and intentional discipleship.

In 2022, Active Church moved into a beautiful new facility, positioning the church for continued growth and expanded ministry impact. With a strong leadership culture, healthy systems, and a clear vision to reach people far from God, Active Church is now launching its North County Campus to extend its mission and presence into the Paso Robles area and beyond.
