My name is Shannon Watanabe-Sakoda. I am Pastor Rodney Kyles' assistant and also serve as the Director of Special Events. I plan and coordinate the Assembly Church's larger events throughout the calendar year. I really enjoy working with the committee members to gather ideas in order to make our events not only fun and festive but done in excellence as well. 

   God has blessed me with a loving husband, Deacon Marc Sakoda and two awesome children Taryn and Luke. I enjoy spending time with my family and day trips on my motorcycle. I am a member of Chariots of Light Motorcycle Ministry and I love watching God work through us while we enjoy the ride.

   Marc and I have been a part of The Assembly Church since the very beginning and have enjoyed all of the growth and change that has occurred. I look forward to everything that God has planned for The Assembly Church and will continue to serve in any way I can.
