Groups Director and Connections Director | Bayside Folsom
I love creating a culture where all people in all stages feel welcome and loved by God through the church community. I am passionate about helping people discover their identity in Christ and how they can contribute to the body of Christ. I also enjoy serving on the worship team, women’s ministry, and Breakaway kids camp. Outside of church, I love spending time with my husband Josh and our three kids, Ayden, Addison, and Austin. We fill our lives with sports, concerts, comedy, good food, and friends.

Donna Pepper
Kids Director | Bayside Folsom
I am passionate about creating a safe and age-appropriate space for our kids to hear and respond to God’s Word. I firmly believe that if God’s Word is planted and takes root in the heart of a child, it will continue to grow throughout their lives. When not with our Bayside kids, I enjoy spending time with my husband of over 30 years, and my own four children doing anything outside - specifically boating, camping, hiking, swimming, or walking my sweet beagle, Izzy.

Rachel Annis
Students Pastor | Bayside Folsom
I joined the Folsom Fam in July 2023 for middle and high school ministries. I started serving in student ministry in an administrative role at Bayside Granite Bay while completing my Bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal Communication, which eventually led to a pastoral position at Bayside Folsom. My heart is to show students what an authentic relationship with Jesus looks like and what it means to truly love Him. I’m a coffee enthusiast and outdoor lover; I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, baking, writing in coffee shops, and engaging in meaningful conversations with friends.

He served in the Marine Corps and holds a dual major Bachelor’s Degree in Bible and Business Management – they are not mutually exclusive.

Born in South Korea, I moved to America as a baby and grew up in the Bay Area. I earned a nursing degree in Oklahoma and have been a nurse for 27 years. Folsom has been my home for the last 20 years.
