Who would have "thunk" it? Needless to say I am overwhelmingly excited about the opportunity to Pastor this church. I have been in ministry for almost 12 years now and each experience gives me a little clearer picture of God's grace. My wife Coloma of six years and I are the blessed parents of our beautiful little boy Josiah Antonio. Coloma is a bilingual elelmentary school teacher and the love of my life. It is our desire to "in all that we do" give God the glory and to develop "Contageous Christ Followers" that will impact their family, friends, and this world with Gospel of Jesus Christ. In our free time "what is that?" we love entertaining in our home, outdoor activities and playing with Josiah.

I have been in ministry for fourteen years, serving as youth minister, pastor and now BSM Director at Wayland Baptist University. Each position has been a rewarding experience. My personal mission statement is: Striving to impact the nations, one person at a time. My wife Lori and I have been married for twelve years and have two children: Joshua and Hannah. I enjoy hanging out with my students, coaching my kid's sports, and traveling with my family.

I am currently a junior Church Music major at Wayland here in Plainview. I enjoy reading, playing various instruments, and just having a good time with my friends. I grew up in Amarillo, TX, where I attended and later worked at Paramount Baptist Church. I committed my life to full time ministry last year, and have been blessed with the opportunity to serve at Stonebridge here in Plainview. I am excited about what God has in store for this community, and what He is already doing for His glory. My biggest hope and prayer is that we would seek His glory and praise His holiness every time we come together.

I am a junior at WBU majoring in elementary education. at school I enjoy being with my friends, reading books that are not my text books, and watching gilmore girls. I grew up in shallowater, tx where I attended fbc shallowater. when I was a freshman in high school I committed my life to the ministry and to follow God wherever He leads. this past spring semester I spent in lake tahoe, ca as a semester missionary, where I worked with a church and their children's programs. I believe it is vital for a church to invest in the lives of the children in the community. children need to know that Christ's love for them is endless and that developing personal relationships with Christ is essential for their lives.

When I was first presented with the opportunity to serve at Stonebridge, I was humbled and nervous. Now I'm just excited to see God continue to work through our church family. It is my conviction that we should honor God and serve Him not only with our words, but also with our actions, and I see great potential for service here and many servants to carry the load. I am in my first year seeking my Master's Degree in religion and I hope God uses me as a small piece of everything He is doing here at Stonebridge. I grew up in Lovington, New Mexico and there is no way I would have ever guessed that I'd be where I am today. As far as hobbies, I love hanging out with people, playing football, and watching the NFL and NBA.

Hi, I'm Erik and I am a junior at Wayland working toward a degree in religion. I am originally from Amarillo and never thought I would wind up inPlainview, but here I am and here is where I am supposed to be. I can't begin to explain how excited I am to be working as the youth pastor at Stonebridge. Taking on this position has been a challenge for me and has already proven to be a huge blessing. I have worked in many different ministries but this is my first time as a head youth pastor. I have a sincere love of working with youth and investing in their lives in a way that they can better understand the love of Christ. I really see God carrying every ministry our church has and I can't wait to see what He has in store for our youth group. We have a lot of great ideas and a lot of willing people working with our youth. All I can say is that it will be an exciting ride, so hold onto to your seats!

I am a current student at Wayland Baptist University studying Religious Education, and I am loving it! I moved to Plainview in the fall of '07 from Shallowater, Texas where I attended First Baptist Church. I remember when the idea was first presented to plant a church in Plainview and how excited everyone became over the possibilites. I knew then, that Stonebridge was a place that I wanted to be a part of and a place that God wanted me to serve. I joined the staff last fall and there is no question that this is exactly where God wants me. It is my hope and prayer that Stonebridge would continue to be a place that seeks the face of God and through Him, we would be used to further His Kingdom.
