Cory Hamada

Speaker

Hi everyone, my name is Cory Hamada! I’m thrilled to meet you all this weekend! My wife, Emily, and I were born and raised in Torrance, CA. We met at South Bay Community Church (SBCC) during our junior high years! We got married in 2023 and welcomed our beautiful baby girl, Haven, in November 2025. (This is Haven’s very first retreat!)

I work at SBCC as the Middle School Director while pursuing my Master of Divinity in Spiritual Formation at Talbot Theological Seminary. I also serve as the Director at JEMS Mt. Hermon Inter High with Pastor Tim Lee. Emily and I love trying new boba places, going on Disney dates, crafting homemade coffee or matcha drinks, and indulging in Trader Joe’s goodies while watching TV together! Haven’s favorite activities include going on stroller rides, drinking milk, snuggles with mommy, and spitting up on daddy.

Dan Matsuoka

Worship Leader

Dan Matsuoka came to CCIC-SV’s Youth Group as an 8th Grader in 1997. Dan studied History at UCLA when he felt the call by God into full-time ministry while being involved in campus ministry at UCLA Crossroads Campus Ministries, and then received his Master of Divinity degree from Talbot School of Theology in December of 2011.

After serving part-time in College Ministry and in Worship Ministry while attending seminary, Dan decided to move back home to San Jose and to return to CCIC-SV full time. Dan’s primary focus is working with the youth group. He is also involved in the English congregation’s worship ministry. His passion and vision is for God’s people to learn more about the grace of God so that they can become disciples to do the same.
