Blake & Karla Andrews
Lead Pastor
Blake and Karla have pastored for over 20 years, having pioneered two different works. One in 2001 in San Jose, Costa Rica and the other in 2008 in Denton, Texas where they are currently the lead pastors. This couple has a passion for people as well as for children, as they started a children’s ministry in ‘98 that continues to minister to Costa Rican children to this day. Blake also played professional basketball in Costa Rica for 5 years, from 2003-2007. A few of Blake and Karla's favorite things include going to the movies and hitting the gym. These foodies also enjoy small getaways while trying new places and taking a stroll around the town.

Pastor Mario and DeAnza are now back in the US and serving alongside their long-time friends in Denton, Texas.
