Northside Harvest Baptist Church
Staff & Leaders

  • Cedar Bibiolata

    Cedar Bibiolata
    Lead Pastor

    Pastor Cedar is the youngest of three boys. He grew up witnessing the faithful ministry of his parents in the local church and in international missions. Following God’s personal call, he pursued and completed a Bachelor of Theology degree at Doane Baptist Seminary abroad, including training in Biblical Counseling. By God’s grace, he has served the Lord as a youth pastor, as a music and pioneering pastor, and has taught as a faculty member at a Philippine seminary in Mindanao, helping train students for the pastorate. It has been his joy, by God’s grace, to disciple individuals in the Lord, seeing them grow to become fellow laborers in God’s field as they receive and live out the precious teaching of God’s Word.

  • Anthony Adona

    Anthony Adona
    Worship Elder

    Anthony is a native of San Jose, California. He was burdened to find a church that “authentically preaches, teaches, and lives by the truth of God’s Word,” which is truly descriptive of Northside’s purpose and prayer. Although now a resident of Tracy, Anthony continues to serve as Northside’s worship elder, having completed the elder’s class in Biblical Theology and Theology and Ministry. The music of modern hymn writers Keith and Kristin Getty inspires him to encourage believers to worship in song and to live out the truth of the Gospel.

  • Rey Lingad

    Rey Lingad
    Outreach Elder

    REYNALDO LINGAD, SR. “Uncle Rey,” as we all call him, is the fifth of eleven children. He was born and raised abroad and served with the U.S. Marines and the U.S. Navy. After retiring from military service, he joined the U.S. Postal Service, serving there for almost three decades. Uncle Rey was the last to be saved in his family—the black sheep made white as wool by Jesus Christ. His joy is to witness to others one on one, sharing the Gospel of his Lord and Savior whose amazing grace continues to amaze him. He is smitten by his beautiful wife, Divina, and 6 grandchildren. When you meet Uncle Rey, don’t be fooled by the bulging muscles. He’s tough on the outside, but tender at heart. We sometimes refer to him as the “24-Hour Witness,” as he has nearly perfect attendance at the 24-Hour Fitness, working his muscles and sharing the Word. If you need a “fitness” or a “witness” buddy, he’s your go-to guy! What Uncle Rey enjoys—“Pausing”— Pausing to watch the hills that surround our valley (being in awe of God’s creation!) Pausing to watch people (and this is part of the reason he serves with the city as a crossing guard! He enjoys interacting with people one on one, sharing God’s Word as the Lord provides opportunity) Pausing from his daily routine to drop off goodies to little tikes (goodies like Galvani String Cheese sticks, Danimals Kids Smoothies, Honest Kids Organic Juice, and First Street Granola bars!)

  • Sidney Capillas

    Sidney Capillas
    Admin Elder

    Pastor Sidney is the fourth of six children, serving in the teaching and preaching of God’s Word since the Lord called him out of the university into a seminary for a theological degree. Having become burdened as a pastor to train fellow preachers abroad who cannot afford sound theological training, he is currently pursuing his doctoral studies at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. With God’s supply through employment in hospice care, Sidney was enabled, by God’s grace, to plant what is now Northside Harvest Baptist Church. In answer to prayer for more laborers, the Lord has brought Pastor Cedar to serve as the new lead pastor, while Sidney takes on a new role as an administrative elder.
