Meet our team
Greg Peterson
Lead Pastor - Greg was born and raised in Tulare, CA. He came to know Christ as his Lord and Savior at 19 while attending ‘Youth With A Mission’ (YWAM). There, he also met his wife of nine years. He believes that following God is the greatest adventure anyone can embark on and is passionate about helping others step into that journey. Greg has been on staff at Sunrise Church since 2014 and now serves as the Lead Pastor.
Martin Mora
Pastor of Community Life - Martin Mora joined Sunrise Church in 2000 and has been on a creative and faith-filled journey ever since. Martin believes the church thrives when people are truly connected — to God, to one another, and to their purpose. He founded Fusion School of Music over a decade ago to help equip and encourage local artists, and continues to be inspired by the stories of lives impacted through it. Outside of ministry, Martin enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, playing tennis and ping-pong, and enjoying Caribbean and Mediterranean food — especially over a good cup of coffee with friends. After all these years, he remains deeply grateful to be part of the Sunrise family.
Flory Mora
OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR - As an immigrant from Central America, Flory’s life has been shaped by the richness of many cultures and the value of welcoming others, which fuels her passion for serving in the multicultural and bilingual ministry of Sunrise Community Church. She has been on staff for over 20 years, providing administrative and bookkeeping support as well as translation services, and finds deep fulfillment in helping the team and leadership so the congregation can focus on spiritual growth and meaningful connection. She is actively involved in the hospitality ministry and the Spanish-speaking Bible study group, a close-knit community where faith is shared, challenges are supported, and God’s blessings are celebrated. Outside of ministry, she enjoys life with her husband Martín and their three children, Matías, Camila, and Emma. As a family, they love spending time outdoors, and she especially cherishes the beauty of the Central Valley’s mountains, lakes, and open spaces as places of peace and renewal. FLORY is thankful to Jesus Christ for bringing her family to Tulare and for the opportunity to be part of what He is doing in this community.
