Founder & Lead Pastor, Bella Eden Church - ATX
Crystaline Lopez
Crystaline Lopez is an Austin native — a singer, songwriter, and worship leader whose heart beats for creativity, connection, and the presence of God. With a voice that carries both strength and tenderness, she leads others into worship that feels less like a performance and more like an encounter — a sacred moment where hearts open and heaven draws near.
Known for her genuine love for people, Crystaline lives what she believes — that relationships matter far more than building a brand or chasing a platform. Her life and ministry flow from a deep desire to see people truly known, loved, and transformed by the goodness of God.
Alongside her husband, Chris, she co-founded Bella Eden, a 501(c)(3) church community rooted in love, authenticity, and the belief that life with Jesus is meant to be beautifully lived. Together, they also run a creative consulting business that helps others bring their visions to life from a place of faith, integrity, and purpose.
A true Austin soul, Crystaline finds inspiration in people, music, art, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments. Her life is a song — one of grace, joy, and wild devotion — reminding us all that God’s presence is never far away; it’s right here, in the hearts of those who love deeply and live fully.

Founder & Lead Pastor, Bella Eden Church - ATX
Chris Lopez
In 2013, God whispered a dream that became Bella Eden — a garden of grace in the heart of Austin, co-founded with his wife, Crystaline. Together, they imagined a place where people could breathe again. A place where the gospel wasn’t heavy, but light; not a burden, but a rest.
Bella Eden means beautiful pleasure, God’s garden, new creation — a reminder that, because of Jesus’ finished work, we walk with God again in the cool of the day. No striving. No sweat. Just love, peace, and the quiet joy of knowing it’s already done.
Chris lives and leads from that place of rest. A husband, father, artist, and regular human, he finds God in the everyday — in the strum of a guitar, the peace of a shared meal, the laughter of his kids, or the quiet rhythm of washing dishes. He believes the gospel is not a fast, but a feast — a table overflowing with goodness, grace, and honey for the soul.
A bi-vocational pastor, Chris works with his hands and leads by example, showing that the sacred isn’t separate from the ordinary — it’s woven right through it. His heart is to help people discover that same beauty — the kind that turns a Tuesday morning into holy ground, and an ordinary life into a song of heaven on earth.

Pastors
Brett and Jessica
Brett and Jessica are the kind of people who make you feel right at home — grounded in grace, full of joy, and always ready to share the goodness of God wherever they go. Together, they serve as Associate Pastors at Bella Eden Church Community, carrying a deep passion for teaching the gospel and revealing the heart of Jesus Christ in simple, transformative ways.
Their ministry flows from a place of authenticity and love — inviting others into the wide-open grace of God, where freedom and joy are found not in striving, but in resting in His presence. Whether they’re sharing a message, praying with someone, or laughing on the dance floor, Brett and Jessica reflect the beauty of a life rooted in Jesus and overflowing with joy.
When they’re not leading or teaching, you’ll probably find them dancing — because for Brett and Jessica, worship isn’t confined to a Sunday morning; it’s a way of life. Their love for people, their joy in the gospel, and their infectious energy make them a vibrant part of the Bella Eden family and a living reminder that God’s grace is something to be celebrated.
