Darin Begnaud -
Lead Pastor
“My name is Darin Wayne Begnaud, everyone just calls me D or Pastor D. I am a sinner saved by grace, rescued from the kingdom of darkness translated into the kingdom of light and love. Redeemed by Jesus’ perfect life and His perfect sacrifice. Eighteen years ago, God got ahold of my mind, heart and life.
He led me into ministry… I have been a youth pastor, assistant pastor, and now lead pastor in the Hosanna Family. ALL GLORY TO GOD!
Jesus has blessed my life with so many amazing things. None am I more grateful for than my amazing wife, my five beautiful kids and three amazing grandchildren. Christina is not only my wife but my best friend and my co-laborer in our walk and life in-Christ! I love to encourage and disciple God's people, it is my calling and my gift. Praise God Come hang out with us some Sunday morning!”

Steffen Youngman - Assistant Pastor & Children’s Ministry Director
“My name's Steffen Youngman. I'm the children's director and a deacon here at Hosanna City Yucca Valley. A sinner saved by grace I am the husband of my beautiful wife Charity Youngman. We have been married 11 years and growing closer and stronger in Jesus each day. I am also blessed with the joy of being a father of 7: Cadence, Gavyn, Lilyanne, Jack, Ethan, Harlow & Izzy.
I was born and raised here in the desert and am so blessed to call the Morongo Basin, home. All things valuable in my life can be summed up in 2 words; Jesus and family.
My prayer for each of us is that we continue to see, grow in, and reflect Jesus’ love, mercy, and grace. Wanna know more? Come talk to me!”
Darryl Whitley - Prayer & Care Pastor
“I’ve been a Christian almost 40 years, but I’ve been a truly “surrendered” “sold out” follower of Jesus and “walking” it out for about the last 3 years! I graduated from Yucca Valley High School in 1975 and have been blessed beyond words being married to my beautiful wife Glenda, the wife of my youth, for almost 44 years now!
We have 2 adult children and 7 grandchildren!
And as a hobby, I enjoy long rides on my road bike! I love serving JESUS and people! I continually pray for my daily obedience to GOD and HIS WORD, as I submit my will to HIS, to the best of my ability and I’m both humbled, honored and at your service here at Hosanna City Church YV to be your Prayer & Care Pastor!”
Randy Adams - Assistant Pastor
“My name is Randy Adams. For the first 32 years of my life I was basically an atheist; then Jesus found me; He used my beautiful wife Rosalie in that process; together we have now served the Lord for more than 40 years. I love Jesus and try to obey Him daily.
In 2018 He called me to write books which He wants to use to make an impact in these end times. I love how wonderful He is in guiding my thoughts and my heart.
Rosalie and I love His Word and seek His will daily. We have a daughter and son-in-law who follow Jesus and 3 grandchildren we pray for daily.
We gained a heart for missions in 1998 and briefly went twice to Brazil; we also pastored for 12 years in Desert Hot Springs and still continue to meet in our house on Sunday evenings.
We love Hosanna City Church, and I am grateful to serve as an assistant pastor; our goal is to finish well and be ready when Jesus returns!” Isaiah 12:2
