LEADERSHIP
At The Father's House, we are led by our senior pastors, Steve and Vicki Orsillo—a couple who carry the vision and direction of our church with faithfulness and courage. But we also believe the work of pastoring is not meant to rest on just one set of shoulders. That is why we have raised up a large team of ordained pastors who are also called by God to care for His people and share in the leadership of the church.
We call it lateral leadership—a team approach that looks more like a braid, woven together with trust, shared responsibility, and diverse spiritual gifts. With over 20 ordained pastors, our church family has greater access to care, wisdom, and discipleship. We are honored to walk with Jesus and lead His church—as one united team.
Steve & Vicki Orsillo
Senior Pastors
The Father's House was founded in 1998 when Steve and Vicki Orsillo were called to leave their thriving Sacramento construction business and bring their young family to the last place they had considered settling in—Oroville, California. At the time, Southside was an infamously dark area known for high levels of poverty and drug and alcohol abuse. Seeking God to find out what spiritual power had bound the city, Steve heard "selfishness". Determined to come in the opposite spirit, selflessness, the Father's House began a journey of community transformation.
The vision of the Father's House Church is to bring light to Oroville and to make it impossible to get to hell from Oroville.
