Leadership

Jairo Garcia- Associate Pastor

Jairo Garcia grew up in Guatemala, Central America.   At the age of 14, he was brought to Los Angeles, California, and two years later he moved to Grand Island, Nebraska. There he was introduced to a Pentecostal church where his father attended. He began to serve as a musician in said church, although his need for a redeeming Savior was not met. After about a year,  Jairo moved to the small town of Schuyler, NE with an uncle who was serving as an associate pastor for a Pentecostal church. In this church, Jairo also served as a musician and by the grace of God, was saved. And so our Heavenly Father began His redeeming work in Jairo. Three years later he married his wife Julia, with whom he has three children: Benjamin, Jonathan and Amy.

It wasn’t until he was married that he began to read and study the Bible faithfully and the Lord confronted through scripture many of the doctrines that were wrongfully taught to him. During the next seven years of studying God’s word, Jairo also began to feel the burden to share and teach faithfully the Word of God. It was in 2016 that Jairo and his family began to attend Columbus First Baptist and later became members of the church. He is a graduate of CBL (Latin American Baptist college) in Norfolk, NE. Currently he is pursuing a Master in Applicable Theology (MAT) from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He lovingly serves the church teaching the Spanish Sunday school and leading a Spanish Bible Study. 

He likes to spend time with his family and likes theology and church history books. He also enjoys playing the piano
