Meet Our Pastors
Peter Dunn - Senior Pastor
Rev. Dr. Peter Dunn’s ministry journey began at Malibu Presbyterian Church, where he grew up and eventually became a junior high leader. For college, Peter attended Azusa Pacific University, where he played baseball and studied pre-law. His first full-time ministry call was to be part of a missionary church planting team in Watts, Los Angeles.
Peter then went on to Fuller Theological Seminary, where he met his wife, Katie, who was pursuing a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. After earning his Master of Divinity from Fuller, he served as Youth Pastor at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Redondo Beach, where he eventually became Senior Pastor. He recently completed his Doctorate of Ministry at George Fox University, focusing on spiritual formation and leadership.
Peter and Katie are the proud parents of two children, Glory and Remington. They live an active, adventurous lifestyle that includes skateboarding, soccer, surfing, and karate.
Peter is incredibly excited to serve the Solana Beach church family and share the love of God with all. He looks forward to meeting people, connecting them to community, and helping them find a life-changing relationship with Jesus.

Jamie Nelson - Associate Pastor
Candice Richey Womack - Associate Pastor
I began ministry at SBPC in April 2022 to serve as the Associate Pastor for Adult Discipleship. I am a native San Diegan—raised with burritos, beaches, and the Encinitas laid back vibe. A Baptist preacher’s kid, I have been nurtured in a rich diversity of churches throughout my life. As a teenager, I felt called to ministry in the desert sands of Mexico but my life took a few turns before I listened and responded to my deeper passion for spiritual formation: to care for people and see what God is doing as we walk together towards Christ. I have a BA from Baylor University and an MA from San Diego State University in Spanish Linguistics. I am passionate about welcoming the stranger and have worked in community based organizations in California and North Carolina that provide literacy for refugees and vocational support for veterans. I earned my Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary and I am a board certified chaplain with the Association of Professional Chaplains. I was ordained in 2017. I am married to Tyler and together we have two young sons, Charlie and Ben, who give us endless joy but also limited sleep! I love to travel, eat good food, hike, and ride horses.
