Pastor Francisco Avila has served in pastoral ministry since 1999. He and his wife Donna have been married for over 18 years and are blessed with four wonderful children, Brandon, Andrew, Daniel, and Leilani.

Pastor Francisco's passion and purpose is to uphold the Word of God above all things. This passion comes from the conviction that the Bible is supreme and serves as the chief means by which God has chosen to reveal Himself and communicate with man. Therefore, great emphasis is placed on teaching through the Bible in an expositional manner. This is done in order that we may learn the Bible in its proper context and receive the full counsel of God.

Pastor Francisco is also the featured teacher on Upholding The Word, a weekly radio program heard on KTLW - Worship On The Way Radio Network. For more information on "Upholding The Word," please visit www.upholdingtheword.org
