I am twenty years into an eternity-long journey of following Jesus. I have been married to my wife Rae for eleven years and am a dad to our four boys. I have been in pastoral ministry for fifteen years, nine of which has been at New Life Community Church pastoring in the Oak Lawn (IL) area. My greatest joy is helping people find hope, peace, and restored identity in Jesus.
I have been blown away by New Life Centers for the past decade. I have never seen a community organization whose staff is so committed to the work of serving, loving, and walking with the neighborhoods they live in. When I was presented with the opportunity to be on the board I saw it as a way to help make sure the staff has everything they need to continue their powerful work, and also an opportunity to ensure the organization remains rooted in its mission to connect youth and young adults to Christ and community.

Paco: unconditionally loved by God, cared by a crazy family with 8 children, embraced into the faith family of Nueva Vida in La Villita, adopted into the community of Little Village for over 3 decades…undeservedly blessed into a beloved community.
I am committed to New Life Centers’ because I am swept up by a passion to love all of our neighbors in Jesus’ way.
