Prince of Peace Clergy and Staff

Rector

The Reverend Canon
Rand Reasoner
Email: rector@popwh.org

Although raised in a non-churched home, I felt called to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. My ministry is directed by His great commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself.”

 

It has been my vision that Prince of Peace balance ministries that focus on our own spiritual growth with those that focus on the needs of those outside our community. 
 

Associate Rector

The Reverend
Brian Tucker
Email: briantucker@popwh.org

My family and I have been involved at Prince of Peace for many years. With the support of the parish, I began a process of discernment and seminary education that led to ordination in 2023 as a priest of the Episcopal Church. I also serve as a hospital chaplain. I could not ask for a better place than Prince of Peace to serve and grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ!

Deacon

The Reverend Deacon
George Packer
Email: praywithoutwalls@gmail.com

My family and I have been Prince of Peace members for decades. I came to the diaconate a little late in life, following studies and work in music. Ordained a deacon here at Prince of Peace in 2017, my passion has been to take the church out to the world and to bring the needs of the world back to the church. I hope to be a witness to the grace of God, the love of Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Sunday Assistant

The Reverend
Onesmus Tayebwa
Email: revonesmus@yahoo.com

The Bible is an inspired book that has helped me to know God and made an impact in my preaching and helping the people of God to accept the Holy Spirit. I encourage brothers and sisters to become transformed by engaging in prayer and fellowship on a daily basis. It is a joy to be part of Prince of Peace. Our Congregation is a loving community that portrays the love of God.

Sunday Assistant

The Reverend
Steve Dean

My wife and I came to POP after my retirement as vicar from St. Francis of Assisi in Simi Valley.  I am limited in that I am legally blind and so do not do liturgical services or preach.  My main duties at POP are centered around healing prayer, facilitating small groups, and home or hospital visits.

Sunday Assistant

Email: peacekwikiriza@gmail.com

I was raised in an Anglican home in Uganda.  I worked with Ankole Diocese and later pursued my bachelor’s in theology and Postgraduate Diploma in Education.  My two daughters and I have been at Prince of Peace since 2016. I pray that the hopeful message of the cross, which I've experienced, will lead many to him

I was ordained in 1988 as a priest of the Episcopal church, here at Prince of Peace. After retirement in 2005, I’ve come back part-time, making weekly pastoral visits and assisting in Sunday services. Three grandchildren fill my retirement with great joy, and I also enjoy crafting stained glass, gardening, and traveling.

Communications Manager

The moment I walked through the doors of Prince of Peace in 2022, I knew I had come home. I am so pleased to use the communications skills developed in my professional life to serve as the Prince of Peace Communications Manager.

Children & Families Ministry

Alma Fountain

As a 4th grader, my science teacher brought us to the chapel to thank God for His amazing creation! This made an impact on my mind and heart.

My husband Kevin and I joined Prince of Peace in 1983 and have served in the Children and Families Ministry for over 30 years. My heart overflows when I spend time with children, faithfully sharing God’s deep love for us. 
 

Music Director

Boude Moore

I am a graduate of California State University, Northridge, and I have actively supported worship through music ministry at Prince of Peace since 1988. The music program includes a mixed choir, men’s choir, handbells, drums, and an organist internship. Music supports the liturgy, enhances worship, and invites the congregation to join in singing and celebrating together.

Development Officer

I have been the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of the West Valley Food Pantry since 2013. During this time the Pantry has grown and was named State of California 2020 Nonprofit of the Year.  Due to its growth and impact on the community, the State awarded the Pantry funds to build a new facility completed in 2025 to house its operations.

Prince of Peace Vestry

The Vestry is the Board of Directors of the Parish. The Vestry manages the temporal affairs of Prince of Peace and is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The presiding officer of the Vestry is the Rector. There are two wardens. The Senior Warden leads the parish between rectors and is a support person for the Rector. The Junior Warden (the people's warden) has responsibility for church property and buildings and serves to represent the needs of the parishioners. Members of the Vestry lead many of the ministries of the parish.
