Teachers

Meet Ms. Ardavanis:

Hello, my name is Lauren Ardavanis! I was born in Chicago, raised in Santa Clarita, and then moved to Kingsburg when I was 12. I have six siblings who live all over the place, but my twin does live in Kingsburg, so if you say hi to her and she doesn’t know who you are... it’s probably not me.

I graduated from Kingsburg High School and then attended The Master’s University. Growing up, I had been involved with the Youth Ministry, and I loved being able to serve the Church in that way. I grew a heart for youth during this time as I saw the Lord work in students’ lives to draw them closer to Himself. It was after working at a summer camp during college, however, that I changed my major from Business to wanting to work with students vocationally. After graduating from TMU, I completed my credential in Social Studies and then began working at a Christian school in the area, teaching the same content and classes that I am now. It is such a privilege to be back home in the Valley and be part of a school that so clearly seeks to emulate Christ in all areas, beyond even academics and athletics.

Working with students in a classroom setting has only grown my understanding of this pivotal time in their lives. I love being able to be part of what God is doing with students in terms of their relationships with Him, as well as seeing them grow in their own personalities, passions, and dreams. Something I look forward to is seeing how God uses the students in the future as they grow into men and women who fear the Lord. I love getting to teach history because it opens up conversations of worldview and how to think and discern from a biblical framework.

Daniel 2:21 — “It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men of understanding.”

Meet Ms. Bell:

Hello! My name is Peyton Bell. I grew up in Fresno, California with my parents and my younger sister, Kendall (who also happens to be my best friend). I attend and serve at The Well Community Church, where my dad is a pastor. I was a student in Clovis Unified School District from kindergarten to my senior year of high school, graduating from Clovis North High School in 2021.

My parents often read to my sister and I when we were young, which sparked in me a deep love for literature from a young age. As I grew up, I knew I wanted to continue to study literature and explore how it helps us interact more deeply with our faith. I decided to continue my education at California Baptist University as an English major to do just that. I graduated in 2025 with a B.A. in English Literature, an integrated single subject English teaching credential, and a minor in Philosophy. My dream was to return to the Central Valley to contribute to its legacy of teachers who care deeply about their students both in and out of the classroom.

I believe that every student has unique giftings designed by God to allow them to contribute to His kingdom. I look forward to preparing my students to become better readers, writers, and thinkers so they can achieve the success the Lord has laid out for them. I am grateful and excited to be part of Immanuel's mission to strengthen students academically and spiritually.

"Perhaps this is the moment for which you were created." -Esther 4:14

Meet Mr. Belt:

Hello! My name is Jared Belt. I teach Media Production for Jr. High & High School at Immanuel! I grew up in Easton, CA just outside Fresno. I graduated from Immanuel High in 2011, and went on to attend Biola University, where I graduated in 2015 with a B.A. in Cinema & Media Arts.  From there, I went on to work in commercial TV & Film Productions in Los Angeles (such as The Circle, CHiPs, various Disney Channel shows, etc.) and Live Event Productions (such as The Emmy's, Golden Globes, etc.) for about 4 years. During that time, I also built a production company of my own, which largely served the Central Valley, and its growth brought me back here to work full-time as a Media Producer in the area I love. And that has been my career ever since.

I absolutely love what I do. But teaching what I do is something that has been on my heart for a very long time. I feel so blessed to finally be able answer that call, and teach Media Production to our students at Immanuel. It is my endeavor to teach our students how to produce media with excellence, passion, and a biblical foundation for how we use it. Media shapes our current landscape now like no other time in history. There has never been a more important time to engage, equip, and empower our students to master it.

Favorite verse: "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." - James 1:5

Meet Mr. Beza:

Hello! My name is Tony Beza, and I’m truly blessed to be part of the Immanuel community, where I have the opportunity to teach Junior High Physical Education and Head Varsity Softball Coach.

I was born and raised in Fresno, California, and attended Washington Union High School, where I played football, wrestled, and played baseball. I continued my baseball career at West Coast Christian College in Fresno before transferring and earning my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology/Sports Management, followed by a Master’s degree in Educational Administration.

I’ve been blessed to spend more than 28 years working in education and coaching high school varsity sports, including baseball, softball, and girls basketball. I’ve had the opportunity to coach and work with students throughout Southern and Northern California, and now I’m excited to be back serving students here in the Central Valley.

On the personal side, I’ve been blessed to be married to my wife, Sandy, for 37 years. We have three wonderful adult children who mean the world to us. My faith is also a very important part of who I am, and Sandy and I attend Cross City Christian Church in Fresno.

One of the things I enjoy most is helping young people discover their potential, pursue their goals, grow in their faith, and become the best version of themselves. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, or simply through everyday life, I want to encourage and make a positive difference in the lives of my students.

I’m very excited about this next chapter at Immanuel and look forward to getting to know the students, staff, families, and community. I’m grateful for all that God has done in my life and career, and I’m excited to see what He has in store for the future here at Immanuel!

Favorite verse: Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. - Mark 11:2

Meet Mrs. Decker:

Hello!  My name is Tracy Rose Decker.  I grew up in the foothills of Sanger on my family’s cattle ranch and attended Centerville Elementary, a small K–8 country school. When it came time for high school, my family and I made the decision for me to attend Immanuel. Although I only knew a couple of upperclassmen and no one in my own grade, I quickly made friends and ended up having one of the most meaningful high school experiences imaginable.

After graduating from Immanuel, I earned my B.A. in Interior Design from CSU Fresno. I spent nearly 30 years working in the design industry, gaining experience in residential, medical, and commercial design. Through a series of unexpected and faith-led events, God redirected my path and opened the door to teaching at Immanuel. Becoming an interior design teacher was never something I envisioned for myself—but God had a better plan. I now have the joy of combining my passion for design with my heart for mentoring students as they explore their own creativity and purpose.

My husband Daren and I live in Reedley and have two grown children, Devin and Sadie. As a family, we enjoy spending time at my in-laws’ cabin at Shaver Lake, where we love to hike, paddleboard, and relax. We’re also big baseball fans and love cheering on the L.A. Dodgers!

"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."   Isaiah 43:1-2

Meet Mrs. Faust:

Hello! My name is Rebekah (Bekah) Faust and I am so excited to be here at Immanuel! My husband Darren and I have 3 kids here with me. Oldest son Noah, middle son Greyson and daughter Olivia. We love to travel and raise orphaned and injured wildlife with Fresno Wildlife Rehabilitation Service.

I have a BS Degree in Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology from the University of California at Davis and a Biology Teaching Credential from CSU Fresno. Before going into teaching I was a land animal trainer for Six Flags Marine World (now Discovery Kingdom) in Vallejo. But my passion for teaching kids about animals, along with the cost of living in the bay area, led me back home to Clovis to pursue a career in teaching science.

I taught science for 13 years at Abraham Lincoln Middle School in Selma, then for 5 years I taught science online for California Connections Academy. I love the fact that I get to finally teach science with an emphasis on God, our amazing creator and using this to point students back to Him.

Favorite verse: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 

Meet Mrs. Friesen: 

My name is Coleen Friesen, and I grew up in Fresno, California. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree and teaching credential from Fresno Pacific University. At FPU, I met my husband David, an Immanuel alumnus, and after college we married and settled in Reedley. We have been blessed with seven children who have graduated from or are currently attending Immanuel Schools. Some of my hobbies are camping at the beach or in the mountains, watching our kids play sports, and singing.

I began my career as a kindergarten teacher and then taught K-8th grade students at a charter school. I also spent many years --14!-- homeschooling my own children. All of these experiences, as well as my time as a real estate agent and property manager, prepared me in amazing ways for the job I hold today. I was thrilled when the Lord opened the door for me to work at Immanuel. 

One of my favorite hymns says “Oh love of God, how rich and pure, how measureless and strong...”  What a privilege it is to share the immeasurable love of God with students every day!

Meet Mr. Gianakopulos:

Hello! My name is Tyler Gianakopulos, and I get the privilege of serving as the junior high/high school Bible teacher. I was born and raised in Clovis, California, and graduated from Clovis High School. Growing up, wrestling was a huge part of my life. I went on to wrestle Division 1 at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo before spending a year competing at Menlo College in the Bay Area. After several injuries, God closed that chapter of my life and led me back home to pursue education and ministry.

Although I grew up in the church, my faith was very shallow for much of my life. Early in college, the Lord used His Word to completely transform my heart. As I began to read scripture for myself, I fell in love with the depth, beauty, and truth of God's word. That season gave me a deep passion not only to know Christ more, but also to help others experience the richness of God's word for themselves.

As I got the privilege to teach the youth at my church, one of my pastors encouraged me to consider vocational ministry. I went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry and Leadership from Fresno Pacific University, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Divinity at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I get the privilege of serving at Trinity Community Church in Fresno, California. It has been such a delight and encouragement to me to be a member there!

My greatest joy is investing in students and opening God's word with them. My prayer is that every student would come to believe the gospel, grow in their love for Christ, and build a faith that is deeply rooted in Scripture. It is a privilege to walk alongside students during such an important season of their lives, and I am excited to see how God will work in and through them.

Favorite verse: "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us". - Romans 8:18 

Meet Mrs. Gilmore:

Hi, I’m Lauren Gilmore, and I’m so thankful to be teaching middle school English here at Immanuel. I graduated from Cal State Northridge in 2010 with a B.A. and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I began my career teaching Kindergarten, then spent two years working in regulatory affairs for a medical device manufacturer.

In 2013, I stepped away from full-time work to become a stay-at-home mom. During that season, I also worked as a personal stylist for four years, which allowed me to express my creativity in a new way. Later, I returned to education as the Director of Curriculum Development for an online middle school, a role I held for three years./

In 2021, God called me into full-time ministry, and I had the joy of serving as the Children’s Director in Kingsburg for two years. Then, in January 2024, God led me to Immanuel, where I now have the incredible privilege of teaching middle school students in a Christ-centered environment.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my husband and our four boys. We enjoy camping, crafting, and making memories together as a family.

Favorite verse: “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬

Meet Mr. Gossenberger:

Hello everyone! My name is Jason Gossenberger and although I was born in Vallejo, California I grew up in Clovis. My father was (and is still) a pastor and my mom was a stay-at-home mother. Yes, it is true what they say about Pastor's kids, but I can safely say I was not one of them. It would be an understatement to say I grew up in the church, and that it was basically a second home for me.

I graduated from Buchanan High School in 2007 with a class of 1,000+ students, so it is safe to say there will be a little bit of an adjustment for me at Immanuel. I knew God was calling me to serve Him after high school by being someone who could offer guidance, support, and Biblical understanding to the youth of the next generation.

I married my incredible wife, Maribeth, and graduated from Fresno Pacific University. I have spent the last 9 years of my professional career as a Youth and Associate Pastor, but there was always a tug on my heart to enter into education. So, less than a year ago, God opened a door that I had to step through and here I am today getting ready to guide, support, and provide Biblical understanding for each student that walks through my classroom doors. I am thankful, blessed, and pumped to be a teacher at Immanuel Schools and I look forward to all that God will do.

Favorite Verse: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Meet Mr. Howison:

Hello! My name is James Howison. My wife and I are both from Kingsburg, California, and we now live in Visalia with our son, Boone, who will be two in January. I grew up attending Kingsburg Community Church, and my wife and I now attend Neighborhood Church in Visalia.

Agriculture has been a part of my life from a young age. Growing up, my family raised cattle and grew citrus and stone fruit, and we also raised goats. I was very active in FFA throughout all four years of high school, which helped grow my interest in agriculture and gave me many of the experiences that eventually shaped my career path. I went on to graduate from Fresno State with a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Business.

Before becoming a teacher, I had the opportunity to work in several different areas of the agriculture industry, including crop scouting, agricultural chattel inspecting, agricultural construction management, agricultural lending, and banking. Those experiences allowed me to see agriculture from several different perspectives and helped me develop an even greater appreciation for the people, businesses, and communities that make up the industry.

My path into education was a little different than most, but I have always enjoyed working with and helping others. I believe agriculture is one of the best classrooms for teaching responsibility, hard work, leadership, stewardship, and service to others. As an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor, I am excited to share my experiences with students while also giving them opportunities to discover their own interests and strengths within agriculture.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Immanuel community and to help students grow not only in their knowledge of agriculture, but also in their character and faith.

Favorite verse: “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:1

Meet Mr. Ibanez:

Mr. Joseph Ibanez is a lifelong resident of Reedley. He was educated at St. La Salle School and Reedley High School. Upon graduation from Reedley High, Mr. Ibanez was honored as a Pirate Pillar. He attended Reedley College and Fresno State University with a focus on Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Art. He, also, has a degree in Culinary Arts and is an accomplished Chef.

Mr. Ibanez has been in the fabrication trade for over 45 years and continues to own his own fabrication company. Hobbies include athletic officiating and ride his Harley Davidson.

From a young age, he has followed Jesus and as an adult, he proclaims that Jesus is his Lord and Savior.

Meet Mr. March:

Mr. Jeff March lives in Reedley with his wife, Eleni. They have four children, their son, Dimitri married to Samantha and have a son and a daughter, Mason and Madison; daughter Alexis married to Austin Eberle of Frisco Texas, daughter Zoe, also in Texas and daughter Sophia who lives in Reedley. Mr. March is a native of the Central Valley, born and raised in Kingsburg, graduating from Kingsburg High School (‘79) and went on to graduate from Trinity Western University in Langley, B.C., Canada with a B.A. in Biblical Studies. He completed a Master’s Degree in Christian Ministries from Grand Canyon Theological Seminary in the Spring of 2019.

After serving in the military and serving as the Area Director of Young Life in Selma, in 1993, Mr. March began serving at Immanuel Schools. He taught World History and Junior Bible for 14 years at the High School and has been at the Junior High for the past 18 years, and is currently the 7th Grade Bible teacher.

“God has been so faithful to my family, to me, and to the students that I have been blessed to teach. To watch them grow and see what God has done in their lives is an amazing gift and privilege. I trust that when students leave the Junior High, they are continuing to be prepared to think with a Biblical Worldview, desire to open the Word of God, and know for certain that they can have a personal relationship with our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ”.

Meet Mr. Martin:

Hi Eagles! My name is John Martin and I am the junior high math teacher. I was born and raised in Clovis. I graduated from Clovis High School in 2011, Fresno State in 2016 and most recently achieved my MBA from Grand Canyon in 2025. This will be my sixth year teaching and first year at Immanuel. I taught 4th grade my first year but quickly realized that I belong in a math classroom. This will be my fifth year teaching junior high math.

I am a passionate mathematics educator who believes that teaching is about far more than numbers—it is about building confidence, developing character, and making a lasting impact on the lives of students. I have always loved mathematics and enjoy helping others discover that math can be both challenging and rewarding.

Outside of the classroom, I have a deep love for sports and coaching. Coaching has taught me the importance of leadership, teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and believing in others—values I bring into my classroom every day. Whether I am teaching a math concept or coaching a team, my goal is to help those around me recognize their potential and become the best version of themselves.

Faith and family are at the center of my life. I am blessed to be married to my wife, Kayla, and we have two wonderful children: our four-year-old son, John, and our six-month-old daughter, Savannah. Our family also includes our puppy, Lucy, who keeps life fun and never fails to bring a little extra energy into our home.

I am grateful for the opportunity to combine my love of mathematics, sports, coaching, faith, and family with my passion for education. My greatest goal as a teacher and coach is to make a positive difference—to inspire students, encourage them through challenges, and leave an impact that extends far beyond the classroom or playing field.

Favorite Verse: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:13

Meet Mr. Merritt:

Hello, my name is Josh Merritt, and I am the Choral and Performing Arts Director. I teach all High School Choirs (Chamber, Concert, Women’s, & Men’s), Drama, and Worship Funds. I also teach Jr. High Choir and Drama. I am an alumnus of Immanuel and have my BA in Vocal Performance with an emphasis in Education from Fresno Pacific University. The Lord has blessed me by allowing my passion for serving Him and my love of music to flow together in everything I have done.

Throughout my years of teaching, I have had the privilege of directing many different musicals and drama productions. I have also been able to take our Choirs to competitions and trips to New York City, Nashville, Chicago, Anaheim, Scotland, Ireland, and Italy, winning multiple “Gold 1st”, “Sweepstakes”, and “Best Overall” Awards. Through everything the Lord has brought me through, His promises remain true, and it is evident to me that music can be such a powerful tool to bring glory to God. This is something I hope every student that I come into contact with will learn and understand before their time ends here at Immanuel.

My wife, Chelsea (also an Immanuel Alumni), and I have 4 children together. Hudson & Dawson (our boys), and Tori & Jacey (our girls). I love to sing and play guitar, and piano in my spare time. I also have a deep love and passion for sports. Basketball and Football are sports I will play and/or watch anytime!

Meet Mrs. Nelson:

Hi, my name is Erin Nelson. I was born and raised in Visalia. My grandpa was the pastor of my church growing up, and there I accepted the Lord as my Savior at a young age. I attended Westmont College where I received my BA in Biology and a minor in Psychology. I continued my education at Fresno Pacific University where I received my multiple subject teaching credential.

I met my wonderful husband Randy when I was a senior in high school, and we got married in 2001. We live in Visalia and have been blessed with three children, Aidan, Seth, and Abby. I had the privilege of homeschooling for 15 years, and now the Lord has provided a new opportunity. Abby will be completing three years of high school at Immanuel, and I have the incredible privilege of teaching here as well. I never imagined this is where I would be at this stage of my life, but I am so grateful to the Lord for bringing me here in His perfect timing. The Lord is so good and faithful! What a joy and gift it is to have the opportunity to teach science at a school where God is the center of everything!

Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do. Together, we love playing games, watching movies, and traveling. In my free time, I enjoy reading a good book or having a coffee date with a friend.

Meet Mrs. Rogers:

Hi, my name is Kimberly Rogers and I love serving at Immanuel in the History Department!  I’ve been in education since 2002 after I got my Teaching Credential in Social Studies at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, CA.  My Bachelor's Degree is in History and Political Science and I also have a Master’s Degree in Education.  

I grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico but have lived most of my life in California.  At Vanguard, I met my husband John (Class of '91) and we settled in Kingsburg to raise our three children.  Our oldest son Jack is married to Brooklyn and they both graduated from The Master's University, our middle son Lincoln (Class of '25) is in college, and our daughter Maggie (Class of '27) is still at IHS.  I’m continually thankful to our Lord for planting us in an awesome church and community.  We enjoy traveling around the US/World with our children visiting historical places, national parks, baseball stadiums, and just exploring the world that God created.  I’ve also loved being a part of the Students International missions teams from Immanuel the past couple of summers and getting to see and serve the global church.  My time at Immanuel has been very special and I’m incredibly thankful to the Lord for bringing me into the Immanuel community.  

James 1:22 - “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.  Do what it says.”

Meet Mrs. VanLeeuwen:

Hello! My name is Deniele (Croissant) Vanleeuwen. I grew up in the Dinuba countryside where my father was an auctioneer and farmer while my mother worked alongside him. I spent many weekends working at our family auctions with my younger brother. I grew up attending Kingsburg Mennonite Brethren Church. I was enrolled at Grand View Elementary and Washington Junior High. Both of my parents attended Immanuel High School, so I was excited to also attend Immanuel for high school.

After high school I attended Fresno State University, and majored in Fine Arts. Several months later I purchased a retail store (Coffee & Candy) which I owned for ten years in Reedley, until I got married to my husband Todd Vanleeuwen. I am a mom blessed with three amazing children and honored to be raising two of them. My husband Todd and I reside in Kingsburg along with John and Rebecca, they both love going to Immanuel and are always keeping us on our toes. I love crafting, painting and being creative, which is why I was thrilled when God opened a door for me to teach Art and Yearbook at Immanuel High School. I am blessed to be a part of the supportive and caring Immanuel family. Working at Immanuel brings me much joy, comfort and above all the ability to talk about my love for our Lord and Savior!

Exodus 14:13-14 - “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, … The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

Meet Ms. Winslow:

Hello, my name is Sabrina Winslow, and I’m honored to be serving Immanuel as the new Culinary Arts Teacher. I was born and raised in Clovis, California, and have always had a deep love for creativity, community, and good food. I graduated from Biola University in 2020 with a degree in Business Management and later pursued my culinary education at Le Cordon Bleu in London.

My passion for baking led me to start my own bakery business, where I’ve been able to blend my entrepreneurial spirit with my love for the culinary arts. In addition to teaching, I’ve also had the joy of playing collegiate volleyball for four years and have spent the last five years coaching—an experience that has taught me the value of teamwork, discipline, and mentorship.

I’m excited to bring my background in both business and culinary arts into the classroom, where I hope to inspire students to explore their creativity, develop practical skills, and serve one another. 

One of my favorite Bible verses is: Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,  through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5:1-5

Meet Ms. Young: 

Hello! I am Brooklynn Young, one of the Immanuel Ag Teachers. My passion for sharing the gospel and the agriculture industry are guiding principles of my teaching and I am so happy to be at Immanuel!

Throughout my walk with the Lord, He has constantly shown me that His grace abounds and His plans are perfect. I had a severe fear of all animals that hindered all of my interactions with friends and family. I let the fear grasp me and it took years of prayerful consideration for my family to get a dog. Little by little, I overcame the fear by praying and slowly interacting more with our puppy. Jesus transformed my heart from a heart of fear to a heart of courage through Christ. Because of this, I joined 4-H and FFA, realizing my love of FFA and agriculture. I knew God was calling me to a career in agriculture education, and that led me to Immanuel. God's grace and faithfulness to His people allowed me to discover that I can truly live a life without fear and embrace His joy in everything. My walk of faith has come with many toils and snares, but I am confident that Christ strengthens us in Him through all trials and heartbreak.

I was privileged to participate in FFA at Kingsburg High School, which is in the same FFA section as Immanuel! While there, I competed in Best Informed Greenhand, Nursery Landscape, Tree Pruning, Job Interview, Creed, and Floriculture. I had the opportunity to show beef, dairy cattle, and sheep through FFA, and I showed swine and goats in 4-H. I won a state proficiency in Agricultural Sales Placement and was a National Proficiency Finalist. I received my American Degree in 2020 while beginning my college career in Ag Education. I graduated in 2023 from Oklahoma State University, with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Leadership and Education, with an emphasis in communications and floriculture. I also completed the CASE Institute Certification for the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Course at Iowa State University over the summer of 2024.

My life verse is Ephesians 2:8, “For it is by grace you have been saved; not by works so that no one can boast.”  I found this verse when naming my first dog, knowing that God’s grace abounds and covers all flaws of the human heart. We can do all things because of God’s perfect grace.
