Jeremy Ruiz

Jeremy was born and raised in Southern California as the youngest of four. His father served at a local Calvary Chapel as the worship pastor, and his mother stayed home to take care of the tribe. At the age of 14, he started leading worship for the high school ministry and desired to grow more in his talents and biblical knowledge.

At the age of 17, he began attending Calvary Bible College in Murrieta California, where he earned an Associate’s Degree in Theology. After graduating he then went through a year-long program based on Worship Ministry and Church Leadership at the Calvary School Of Worship in Costa Mesa. Through his early twenties, he traveled in South California leading worship at small local churches, while attending and leading worship at his home church of Calvary Refuge in Huntington Beach.

At the age of 25 Jeremy went back to school to earn his Associates of Fire Science, and EMT License, and eventually got hired at a local fire department here in Kern County at the age of 27, where he continues to work.

Jeremy found Rock Harbor Church in 2021 and began listening to Pastor Brandon’s teachings online. In early 2022 Jeremy relocated from Newport Beach to Bakersfield and began attending RHC in person. Soon after, he became a member and started serving on the worship team. After the church move in September of 2023, Jeremy took over as Worship Leader. In February of 2024, Jeremy married his beautiful wife Ali and is excited to grow in life and ministry with Rock Harbor Church.
