DOMINIC RIVKIN
Spiritual Director
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
​
Galatians 2:20
MEET DOMINIC
I’m a husband to Cassie, and a dad to Angeline and Julia, filled with the passion be with others on our spiritual journey.
After a corporate career, I pursued advanced study in theology and mission, leading to a ministry of planting new churches and encouraging emerging leaders in the city of Los Angeles. My current role has expanded to include Southern California Arizona, and Nevada where I’m blessed to support leaders from over 300 churches and ministries.
My life-long education continues, growing in the skills of offering Spiritual Direction and retreats.
