Morales Family On Mission

Hi, my name is Fernando

I am a Husband, Father and Pastor. I've been married for 11 years, a father for 7 years and a full time Pastor for 13 years. 

Faith and I met while attending Christ For The Nations Institute (CFNI) in Dallas, TX, where I graduated with a Bachelor's in Practical Ministry focused on Youth Ministry. After graduation, we dated and were married in 2013. This same year we found ourselves working side-by-side at CFNI's summer camp and conference program, Youth For The Nations. It was there that our true ministry journey began.

In 2014, my wife and I moved to Santa Barbara to become Youth Pastors at a Foursquare Church. In 2018, I was ordained as a Minister in the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, followed by a transition to Associate Pastor the following year. Fueled by a passion for learning, I also balanced ministry with pursuing another degree in Christian Studies from The King's University in South lake, TX.

For over a decade, I've had the privilege of speaking into the lives of countless youth, young adults, and adults—both within our movement and beyond. God has used my story and voice to reach audiences at camps, conferences, and interdenominational events across the nation.

Hello, meet Faith

Faith is a gifted musician, communicator, and a dedicated wife and mother to three young children. She also serves as an ordained pastor in the Foursquare Church, holds a B.A. in Worship & Technical Arts from Christ For The Nations, and is a certified vocal coach.

Passionate about nurturing a love for worship, Faith enjoys helping others develop their unique voices and discipling young people to experience the grace and love of Jesus.

In her spare time, she loves relaxing with close friends and family. You’ll often find her in sweats, enjoying a Coke Zero, and laughing 99% of the time.
