Worship Pastors
Pastor Yvette Lopez was called to ministry at an early age. Her musical training started at age 3 with her father’s musical band, where she loved to sing songs
about Jesus. Seeing her growing interest and passion in music, Yvette’s parents invested in a little Yamaha keyboard that sparked in her a new passion to not only sing but to play piano at the age of 8. Since then, Yvette has been blessed to lead people to connect with God through worship.
Yvette graduated from the University of Arizona in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. In May of 2000, Yvette and her high-school sweetheart, Shawn, were married. In November of 2003, God blessed them with a son, Jayden Christopher Lopez.
Together, Yvette and Shawn share a passion for God and enjoy teaching people songs that will become a part of their lives and will draw them closer to God.
Student Pastors
Pastors Alvaro and Sylvia Serrato have worked in youth ministry since a young age. Together, since getting married three years ago, they have given their time and effort toward the development of young lives that are dedicated to serve God with pure hearts and eager to reach His kingdom. Their goal in their youth ministry is to instruct, make firm and prepare a youth that is facing many social, cultural and spiritual challenges. Pastor Alvaro counts with many years of sports experience as he played professional baseball for more than a decade. This experience has given him an understanding of the real needs of today’s youth. Today he ministers with passion and dedication, forging young lives that will transform and create ties of union and fellowship that will establish the body of Christ.
