Gabri is a native Southern Californian. In fact he was born just a few miles from All Saints’, although his spiritual journey took him in other directions before he made his church home here.

He was raised Roman Catholic, but in 1972 became involved with what would later be called the Jesus movement. In 1979 Gabri started attending The Church On The Way, a Foursquare Church in Van Nuys, California, pastored by Jack Hayford. In the early 1990s, he and his family discovered All Saints’ Beverly Hills. He was active in church life, joining the vestry and becoming Junior Warden before being asked to join the staff in 1997. Gabri is Associate Rector for Adult Formation.
