Pastor Kyle & Kari Chamberlain

Originally from Illinois, Pastor Kyle and his wife, Pastor Kari, met at North Central University, where they began both their marriage and ministry journey together. Kyle is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, and in obedience to God’s clear call on their family, they moved to Placerville, California to plant what would become VantagePoint Church. In 2015, that vision became a reality—and ever since, Kyle and Kari have been passionately serving the Placerville community with a heart to help people see Jesus more clearly.

As Lead Pastor, Kyle is known for his bold preaching, relational leadership, and genuine love for people. Whether he’s in the church office studying and seeking the Lord or connecting with others over coffee in the community, his heart for people and connection is always evident.

Alongside him, Kari co-founded VantagePoint Church and now pastors our Kids Ministry, overseeing ministry for infants through 6th grade. She also works full-time as a teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing, serving students throughout the area. Kari’s heart for children shines through in the creative and engaging way she helps kids understand God’s Word and experience His love.

Married for nearly 20 years, Kyle and Kari have three beautiful daughters—Cassy, Laila, and Addison—who bring endless joy and laughter to their home. Together, they enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding, as well as thrifting, crafting, cooking, and, of course, sharing plenty of coffee and family adventures.
