FRANK GARZA - YOUTH PASTOR

Frank is the youth pastor here at Grace Community Fellowship, Needville. He gave his life to the Lord when he was 21 years old. He is a direct result of his mother’s faith, love and prayers for him. He has previously worked with youth and has been a part of prison ministry and evangelism missions. Frank has a passion to talk to others about Jesus.

He and wife , Sonia, are a blended family with three children and Five grandchildren. When he moved to Needville, he prayed to God to lead his family to a local church where his family could grow and serve. God led them to GCF Needville. He and his wife, Sonia, who was raised in Needville, were later asked for the opportunity to be the youth pastors. Upon consistent prayer and peace, they accepted the position.

Both Frank and Sonia have been zealously serving our youth group with a passion to make an impact in their lives. “It is an honor and a privilege to watch young minds and hearts be transformed to live a life for Christ.” Their youth motto is to “Rise Up”. Frank encourages the youth to not fall into the ways of this world but to stand up for Christ! Their desire is to create a comfortable atmosphere with truths and practical teachings while having some fun as well.
