Gerry Lopez

Gerry understands the importance of a strong and visible children’s ministry in churches; he feels the future existence of the church depends on it. Gerry has enjoyed working in children’s ministry for more than 14 years as a youth pastor, children’s ministry pastor, and elementary school chaplain. Gerry has worked in churches in Southern California, Puerto Rico, and West Palm Beach, Florida. He recently served as the Children and Family Ministry Pastor at Sligo SDA Church in Takoma Park, Maryland.
