Meet the Pastors

-Pastor Jayson-

       


I was with Pastor Jayson's congregation two years in a row. Alcate Gospel Baptist Church was a warm, caring, fellowship that went the extra mile in how they treated all members and guests. They were a loving people.

Pastor Jayson and his wife, Emz, had come to Alcate about 7 years ago following the founding pastor. The congregation had come to love their humble and gracious Pastor and followed his leadership. Jayson was young but he had much wisdom and Godly concern for the people.

There seemed to be a lot of "families" in the church...extended families. Pastor Jayson, his wife and children, and her parents lived in the back of the church. Pastor Alberto's wife, Eleanor, had two sisters and at least three nieces at this church.  There were many children which made worship and other events lively.

In 2017, Pastor Jayson felt called to leave Alcate and his Philippine community to move to Japan for the sole purpose of starting a church for Filipino people. He already had family there and had seen firsthand the need. So, he left to do the job God had called him to do. Emz and the children are planning on joining him in 2018. Pray for them in this new work.
