Reflecting Christ’s glory as we walk people from darkness to his marvelous light
Dave & Arleen Uchizono Are the senior leaders at reflexion church
Dave Uchizono hails from the golden state of California and moved to Chicago to attend Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he received his Master of Divinity. He then went on to receive his Master of Arts in Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. In 1999, Dave was ordained for ministry, serving on staff as an associate pastor at his local church and then as senior pastor since June 2012. While in the windy city, Dave met and married the love of his life, Arleen, who also served as worship leader at the church. Her heart of worship along with a background as a teacher for 13 years allowed her to equip the leaders there and empower them to move in the Spirit.
After serving a combined 33 years in ministry, in 2019, Dave and Arleen felt God leading them to start a new church at which time Reflexion Church was born. With Dave’s strong leadership and focus on biblical theology along with Arleen’s dedication to seeing healing and deliverance in bringing people to wholeness in Christ, together they bring a desire to lead people from darkness to light. The strong emphasis they place on equipping and training is at the very core of what they do as they seek to build up leaders for God’s Kingdom.
Dave and Arleen both have a love for sports and you can often find them at sports games (Dave is still a Dodgers fan for life, while Arleen is a die-hard Cubs fan…don’t worry, there’s still a shared love for the game :)). Be sure that you’ll always “have a ball” with Dave and Arleen, along with the rest of the Reflexion church family!
We welcome you!
