It is my desire that our Lead Pastor be able to focus on shepherding the congregation, casting vision, preaching and teaching the Word of God.  My ministry is taking care of the day-to-day business operations of the church, thus relieving our Pastor from this responsibility.  I want to do everything I can to ensure that our Pastoral Team moves forward in the work God has called them to.  I am blessed to work closely with my wife, Cheryl, as we labor together in the church we love so much.  I also oversee the facilities, making sure everything is in place, and ready for those who attend each service.  In addition to those responsibilities, I head up the MAPS ministry, organizing teams to travel overseas to do short-term Missions work.  It is  priviledge to serve in this capacity.

Gracias por visitar nuestra Iglesia North Highland Assembly of God. Nuestro servicio Hispano es una extensión de los ministerios de nuestra Iglesia. Somos una Iglesia multicultural donde el gozo y la presencia de Dios reposan sobre la congregación. Seguimos humildemente el mandato que se nos ha dado en “Mateo 28:18-20 Y Jesús se acercó y les habló diciendo: "Toda potestad me es dada en el cielo y en la tierra. 19 Por tanto, id, y haced discípulos a todas las naciones, (A) bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo; 20 enseñándoles que guarden todas las cosas que os he mandado; y he aquí yo estoy con vosotros todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo. Amén." Nuestra Iglesia es un microcosmo del cielo. Nuestra misión es ganar a los perdidos y hacer de ellos discípulos. Esperamos verle el domingo a las 5 PM. Que Dios le bendiga.  Para mas information, haga clic aqui.
