Blake Hertzog

Blake Hertzog was born and raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He grew up attending a Methodist church hearing about Jesus and the Bible, but rejected the Gospel seeking a life of sin and hypocrisy by continuing in church seeking only to look a certain way. By God’s grace and providence while living in London, England he heard the Gospel and the Word of God rightly taught and preached and his heart was made alive and repented of sin at the age of 22.  

Blake went to college at Pennsylvania State University graduating in 2007 prior to conversion and immediately moved to Monterey, California to work at Pebble Beach Golf Links. While seeking to grow and desiring to serve in another local Church, Blake met his wife, Sara, while serving in the Junior High Ministry. In God’s timing and plans they were brought to Grace Church Monterey Bay (then Seaside First Baptist) in 2013 and have been members growing in their love for the Church and faithfulness to Christ. Blake and Sara love to take hiking trips and beach days with their three children.

Blake has been working at the U.S. Navy golf course Monterey Pines Golf Club for almost 10 years during that time he completed an MBA from the Master’s University in 2022. He is grateful that the Lord has been faithful to guide their family through times of difficulty and for a privilege to serve Jesus Christ, the Great Shepherd of the Church.

Colossians 2:6-7 “Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and being built up in Him, and having been established in your faith—just as you were instructed—and abounding with thanksgiving.”
