David and Laura Gonzalez

David has served in the Evangelical Church of Teis in Vigo (Spain) since God saved him in his youth. In 2013, he was recognized as an elder of the church, and in 2015 he and his wife Laura moved to Los Angeles to pursue his theological training at The Master’s Seminary. After his graduation (MDiv, 2018) and ministry in Grace Community Church, they went back to Spain to serve in his home church. In 2019, David was ordained to the ministry as pastor of the church. Since then, his ministry is focused on shepherding God’s flock by preaching the Word of God, counseling, and training other men to do likewise. David is also part of the faculty at Berea Seminary (TMAI school member in Spain). David and Laura have three daughters, Noa Grace, Cloe Joy and Aria Elisabeth.

Goals

CHURCH STRENGTHENING: Shepherding, biblical counseling, preaching, and teaching God's Word. Plus, discipleship and bible training school at church.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING: Equipping pastors and leaders in Spain and Portugal through Berea Seminary in order to establish biblical leadership and biblical churches.

Current Ministry

The city of Vigo and its metropolitan area includes more than a half million people with a great need of the gospel and biblically sound churches. David’s heart is to faithfully preach Christ and Him crucified and equip the saints for the work of the ministry.

EVANGELICAL CHURCH OF TEIS IN VIGO: David serves as pastor of the church, shepherding, preaching and counseling God’s flock. He also trains and develops church biblical leadership. By God’s grace the church has grown spiritually and numerically in the last years, so the church is involved in praying and raising funds for a new building construction. Plus, the church organizes an annual conference (“Palabra de Verdad”) with the goal of building up the local churches in the area through expository preaching. Laura’s main ministry is her family, but she also leads and teaches in the women’s ministry.

BEREA SEMINARY: David serves as part of the faculty of Berea seminary, teaching classes and tutoring students in both programs, Expository Preaching as well as Bible & Theology. Berea has a great impact and influence in the whole country (more info: Berea Training Ministry).
