Church Leadership
As is the workman, such will the work be."
Jon Kile
Pastor
Biography:
I was born in Portland, Ore., and I grew up in nearby Tigard. I came to know the love and grace of Christ at an early age, and I knew from early on that God was calling me into some sort of full-time ministry. I went to Bible College at Pacific Christian College in Fullerton, where I met Tiffany. After getting married and graduating, we moved to Johnson City, Tenn., for seminary at Emmanuel School of Religion, where I received my Master of Divinity. I began preaching while at the seminary, as a part-time pastor in a small rural church, and with graduation in 1995, moved into full-time ministry. In May 2009, I graduated from The Master’s Seminary with a Doctorate of Ministry degree. I have three wonderful daughters: Katie, Emily and Allison. My two passions are preaching God’s wonderful Word and evangelism. I love the Lord with my whole heart, and I look forward to serving Him for many years to come at Faith Community Church.
David Truesdell
Elder/Pastor of Ministries
Biography:
I was born in West Point, N.Y., but I spent my childhood in the Bay Area. After graduating from college, I married my best friend, Rachel. The Lord has blessed us richly with two children, Joshua and Grace. My family and I have attended Faith Community Church since it formed. However, it wasn’t until 2005, after teaching in public schools for 13 years, that I felt God call me to make a change. It was then that I took my love for Him and my passion for teaching and became part of the staff as the youth pastor. What a blessing it has been to minister at FCC for the purpose of spreading the Gospel and the edifying of the saints.

Steve Truesdell
Elder
Biography:
I was born in Ames, Iowa and moved to Santa Monica when I was 12. I attended Santa Monica High School, where I met and subsequently married my wife, Joy, five years later. I earned a football scholarship to UCLA and received both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from there. After teaching for three years at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, I spent the next 30 years in the Palo Alto Unified School District as a football coach, and later, as an assistant principal. It was during these years—July 31, 1971 to be exact—that a colleague took Joy and me to a Billy Graham Crusade in the Oakland Coliseum. That night we gave our hearts to Jesus. Joy and I have three wonderful children: Brad, David and Elizabeth, and seven wonderful grandkids. I served as principal of The King’s Academy, a Christian school in Sunnyvale, the final seven years of my career. In January 2006, we moved from the Bay Area to Dixon and began attending Faith Community Church. Before God called me into the ministry as an elder/pastor, I served as the Adult Sunday School teacher and now lead our senior ministry, known as the Senior Saints.
Floyd Thomas
Elder
Biography:
I was born in Southern California, but I have lived most of my life in the Fairfield and Vacaville area. I attended the United Methodist Church in Fairfield in my elementary school years, but did not fully appreciate the saving grace of my Lord Jesus Christ until I married Gina in 1989. That was when God revealed to both of us how sinful we were and how much we needed a savior. From that point forward, we have been guided on a journey that helps us to appreciate each day in our Lord’s service. We have two children, our son, Samuel, and daughter, Sidney. We have attended Faith Community Church since 2010, and we consider ourselves blessed to be in a family of God-centered believers. We are so thankful to have opportunities to promote international outreach programs that primarily focus on children. I am truly humbled to have the opportunity to serve with others whose hearts’ desires are to be thankful and obedient to our God.
Joe Allio
Elder
Biography:
I was born and raised in South San Francisco. At the age of 18, I heard and responded to the truth of the gospel, salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone. I met my wife, Kathleen, my best friend shortly thereafter and we were married in 1983. We have six wonderful children and three abundantly wonderful grandchildren (praying for more). I served in law enforcement for thirty three years as Kathleen had the more challenging job of serving our children at home as a home school mom, always seeking to be a Proverbs 31 servant of our Lord. I began teaching the Bible here in Vacaville more than thirty years ago in a children’s church class and have been blessed to continue teaching His word and seeking to shepherd His flock as He directs. It is a blessing to serve here at Faith Community Church.
