Born and raised in Hawaii, Harlan grew up in Kaneohe and graduated from Castle High School. He attended International College and Graduate School and received his Masters of Divinity in 2004. Harlan felt a call to be a Pastor during his years at seminary. At the seminary, he could not cover the cost of tuition. Harlan started praying and asking the Lord, “if you want me to be a Pastor, please provide the tuition I need to complete my diploma.” Two weeks later, a Pastor from Mililani hired Harlan as Youth Pastor and Worship Leader. The church agreed to cover the entire cost of the tuition. From that time till today, Harlan knows that God has called him to be a Pastor. Harlan is married to Dana Nakasone for 31 years. He adopted two boys - RJ (16) and Elijah (14).

Irtaas is from Pakistan and moved to Honolulu about four years ago after working with a non-profit in Thailand for three years. He lives with his wife. Coming from a long line of pastors, with both his father and grandfather serving in that role, Irtaas accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior at a very young age in Children's Sunday School. However, it wasn't until his early 20s that he found his true identity in God and developed a personal relationship with Him.

In his spare time, Irtaas loves reading books. His favorite cuisine is Mexican.
