Illinois Conference welcomes Roberto Gonzalez as the new associate youth director focusing on youth and young adult ministry and Public Campus Ministry, effective June 1, 2024.
Roberto was born in Geneva, Switzerland where he lived until age 12. He then moved with his family to Spain where they are originally from. He has worked with youth at academy and church level, as well as senior pastor and youth/associate pastor in both English-speaking and Spanish congregations, for the conferences of Michigan, Florida and Potomac and most recently as the associate youth pastor of the Manassas Church in Virginia.
Roberto has a passion for young people. He enjoys seeing the energy and talents of young people and loves helping them make a decision to follow Jesus and work for Him.
“I am blessed for the opportunity to be able to continue my ministry working with a great team of leaders to reach, prepare and empower our youth to finish the mission we have been called to do,” said Roberto.
He is married to Valeria Cruz-Gonzalez and together they have two young daughters, Rebecca and Michelle.
We look forward to having Roberto and Valeria join our conference family and in seeing what God will do through their ministry.
