Steve and Marla were married in 1994 and have three sons, Jordan, John and Joseph, who were born in 2002 and 2003.  To this day church members frequently recall “Those boys were all wearing diapers when you came to our church!”

Steve’s interests include visiting our National Parks, collecting diecast cars and other toys from his 1960s childhood, home improvement and obstacle course racing.

Yuna was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and spent most of childhood there. When her family moved back to South Korea, she had to learn how to speak the language.

After graduating from Grad School she decided to move to Toronto to go back to school. She finished her TESOL (Teaching English as a second language) degree and worked as a Kindergarten teacher at an International School.

Yuna and Tyler were married while he was stationed in South Korea in the military and have a 13 year old daughter, Sophia.

Yuna used to take English classes at 5 in the morning everyday before her college class started and she truly believes that was God doing his wonderful job and showing her true calling.  Now she’s here, at Rolling Hills as an Activities Director and Office Manager.
