Email Tomas

Pastor Tomás has a heart for people and a deep desire to see others discover the hope and life found in Jesus. He loves preaching and teaching God’s Word, but what truly stands out about him is the way he connects with people. He is a trusted friend, teacher, and mentor who makes himself available to encourage, listen, pray, and walk alongside others through every season of life.

Tomás leads the Hispanic Ministry, Renacimiento Evangélico, at Grace Community Church, where he has been serving and growing in ministry since 2021. Having been trained and shaped through Grace Community Church, he has a special heart for reaching Spanish-speaking families throughout the North Coast and helping them find a place where they can belong, grow in faith, and build a relationship with Jesus.

Those who know Tomás often see his humility as one of his greatest strengths. He leads from a place of genuine love, never holding back when it comes to giving his time, wisdom, encouragement, or support. He has a unique way of making people feel valued and reminding them that they do not have to walk through life alone. His generosity and servant-hearted leadership continue to inspire the people around him.

Tomás has been married for 20 years and treasures his family deeply. Outside of ministry, he enjoys working on cars, playing fútbol, and spending time with family and friends. Whether he is behind the pulpit, sharing a conversation over coffee, helping someone through a difficult moment, or simply enjoying time with those he loves, Tomás seeks to reflect the love and grace of Christ in the way he lives.

His desire is simple: to know Jesus more deeply, help others know Him, and faithfully give what God has placed in his hands to bless those around him.
