About Me

I suppose I never did an about me blog, so I’ll do that now. My name is Orin Joshua Mozon. I was born  on January 23, 1992, in Newport, Rhode Island. I only lived there for 6 months. I moved, against my will, to North Carolina and lived there for 11 years in Jacksonville, North Carolina. After living there, I moved to Silverdale, Washington where I lived for 3 years. Lastly, I moved from there to Oceanside, California, and that is where I’m from. I graduated from El Camino High School in 2010 with honors and a 4.5 GPA (4.1 cumulative) and I’m now attending Point Loma Nazarene University.

I don’t want to make this blog too long because I know that anyone who may read it would not want to read my life story. If you’d like to know more, feel free to ask me here or sending me an email at my school email address: orinmozon2010@pointloma.edu

With that said, I’ll continue. The most important part of my “story” is the role that God has played in my life. My whole life has been about God. I was born and raised in a Christ centered home. However, for the first 14 years of my life, church was nothing stable. My dad was and still is a chaplain in the Navy so we would often travel to different to churches at which he would preach. When I moved to Oceanside, however, we found a church that would turn out to have an extreme impact on me.

That church, New Song Community Church (see picture on right),  would soon turn into my second home and the place that made my faith skyrocket. At New Song, I quickly got involved, serving in many different ministries and in many different positions, from leading the whole team, to being just one of many members. I pretty much put my foot in anything. I loved having a place where I could serve, and that remains today.

Fast forward a couple years and to summarize a very large point in time for time’s sake, my church made a movie called To Save A Life. I was very involved in the movie’s making and background stuff and even was blessed and able to act in a minor role in the movie. For more information on the movie, go to www.tosavealifemovie.com.

The next defining part of my life to this point would be me becoming a worship leader. I got a guitar one Christmas morning and didn’t think much of it. I played it, but not super well, or very often. So I eventually gave it up. But, the next year, I found the same guitar that I thought was still sitting in my closet as a present re-gifted to me. It sparked my interest yet again and this time I got more into it and began to play songs and teach myself songs I liked. One thing led to another and I found myself leading worship for the high school ministry, as well the the middle school/junior high ministry and eventually was ask to play along side the church’s worship pastor on Saturday nights.

God opened and is opening so many doors for me and I love every minute of it. As with anything, there were always not so great weeks, but I always knew God had a plan.

So that’s where I’m at now. A worship leader trying to pursue God’s heart. Living day by day, trying to follow what He wants me to do.

Any questions? Feel free to comment or email, and I’ll reply or blog more about the topic.

That is all.
