MEET OUR PASTOR

My name is Humberto Hernandez, and I am the pastor of the Hispanic congregation. I was born on February 2, 1974, in Mexico City. I have been married for 24 years to Liliana Hernandez, and we have two children; Edson Jafet and Karla Anais Hernandez.

God has led us to the Primera Baptist Church, where I have grown spiritually under the leadership of Pastor Frank Ciprian, who was my pastor for 15 years. Here, we serve with joy to the Lord Jesus Christ, who in the year 1997 forgave all my sins and gave me a new opportunity to worship and serve Him. I was called to the pastoral ministry, and in the year 2011, I was ordained in this same church.

My family and I feel very privileged to belong to Primera Baptist Church for the last 20 years. My children have grown up here, and we have only received love and support from the congregation. I graduated from Golden Gate Seminary, with diplomas in Ministry and Advanced Theology.

I served for 7 years for the San Francisco Giants in the minor leagues, sharing the word of the Lord. I have also been blessed to work in international evangelism crusades. I hope that the Lord allows us to continue working, carrying out the Great Commission, which is to preach His gospel, baptize, and promote discipleship for His glory and honor.

I want to share with you the following promise that the Lord gave me during a difficult moment in my life, and He has remained faithful to it until today:

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

- Isaiah 41:10
