Pastor to the Hispanic Community

Alejandro and Norma came to us from the Church of Christ on South Fetterly Avenue in Los Angeles, CA. They were called to First Christian Church in 2002 to provide ministry to the Hispanic community here.

They lead worship, teach Bible studies (both in National City and Tecate, Mexico), conduct home cell teams, lead groups on short term mission tours and evangelize the community using the Spanish language and culture.

First Christian Church is sponsoring the construction of a two story orphanage on Alejandro's property near Tecate, Mexico where up to 30 children will eventually have a Christian home.
