Emily lives in Clovis, Ca with her husband Sean, and kids Skylar and Ethan. Emily first attended RCP in the 1990s at family camp. The family first started in the Family Camp 3 group and would later call the Family Camp 2 group home.

Throughout her years, Emily had the privilege of being a staff kid member to help with all camps, later attending all junior, junior high, and high school camps, as well as being summer staff as a camp nurse.

Later, Emily also started to attend women’s retreat. As life went on, Emily introduced her then-boyfriend to Family Camp, and then their children as they joined the family. It is the one trip that the family looks forward to every year to renew our souls, visit with camp family, and still serve as camp nurse in collaboration with her husband.  

​Currently, Emily serves as the Nurse Manager at Valley Children’s Hospital in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The family attends Cross City Church in Fresno, CA.

Dave Gaul and his wife Rebecca first came to RCP in 1992, the same year they moved from Sacramento to San Jose with their three children (Andrew, Daniel, and Leah).  The entire clan attended Family Camp 1 for ~ 10 years, and now have attended Family Camp 2 for 20+ years.  Even when they lived in London from 1997-1999, they flew back to make sure they stayed connected to their RCP family.  All three children have served multiple times on summer staff, with responsibilities ranging from ropes course to lifeguard to sound technician to housekeeping.  

​RCP is in their family’s DNA, and they are blessed to now have three grandsons who are already equally passionate about many family camps to come.  Dave accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior on January 26, 1984, and they have attended non-denominational fellowships ever since.  We are currently fellowshipping at the Cross Worship Center in San Jose.

​Dave graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration, Accounting in 1984 from California State University, Sacramento.  He graduated with a M.S. in Taxation in 1994 from California State University, Hayward.  He obtained his CPA license in California in 1990 and is still actively licensed.  He has worked in government service for seven years, in two large public accounting firms for 10 years, and for 20 years in senior Finance roles for the three publicly traded multinational corporations based in the Bay Area.  He has recently obtained his license as a California Professional Fiduciary and has done private trust administration for 12 years.

​Dave has been both humbled and privileged to serve on the RCP board for the past nine years.  He is currently acting as CFO and Treasurer to keep track of RCP’s finances and to provide the full board with information to make wise, stewardship-based decisions.  Dave is passionate to keep the legacy of RCP thriving for generations to come – to build on the shoulders of the founders and the many leaders God has called to RCP – that lives will be restored and that Jesus will be proclaimed in RCP’s teaching, worship and ministry.

Martha Johnson came to Redwood Christian Park with her family, The Hooper’s, in the summer of 1975 at the age of 8 years old. She attended August family camp for many years and later served as a youth counselor and also taught the younger children in the morning. She has been involved since 1994 helping with RCP sponsored Women’s Retreats in worship, leading workshops, and as a dean. She and her husband Mark led the youth program for many years at August & June Family camps. She also leads an RCP Prayer Walk every year at camp.

Martha met Mark while attending Biola University in Southern California. They have been married for 35 years. She is currently the Women’s Ministry Director for Grace Fellowship Church in Jackson, CA where her husband serves as Lead Pastor. They have two beautiful adult daughters – Morgan & Makenzie.

Martha has a real passion for ministry. The experiences God has given her through the years in working with people have taught her to think the best of others by giving grace and love first. Her belief is that it is important to have vision and to see the big picture. Even though she is a detailed person, the small things count too. Martha is a good listener and positive person and she believes that everyone should have an opportunity to share their heart. Then decisions can be made through teamwork. Serving as a trustee since 2012 has truly been an honor and priviledge and she is excited for all that God has in store at RCP.
