My name is Steve Sanchez and I was an associate pastor at Hope Chapel, Hermosa Beach California for over fifteen years where I served as Pastor of Evangelism, Singles, Pro-Life Ministry and Baptisms. I also oversaw half of our church’s 100+ small groups, raising up leaders, and instructing them on how to best care for our congregation.
After living a drug addict’s life and nearly losing everyone I loved and everything I owned, I found Christ at Hope Chapel in December 1990. Or, more accurately, he found me, and saved me. Watch my 40 minute testimony here. Read my story here.
I have studied with Pacific International University, Hope Chapel Ministries Institute and The School of Biblical Evangelism. I served as a team leader for the Way of the Master’s Ambassadors’ Academy between 2008-2011, training students from around the world on how to share their faith on the streets.
On June 14, 2013 I got the call to move from Southern California, (where I had lived for over 50 years), to Dripping Springs, Texas to plant a church. (Read that story here.)
After a year and a half, the church didn’t pan out and I thought God was calling me out of vocational ministry. But no. He opened up a door of opportunity in Johnson City at Community Church of the Hills through an amazing coincidence. (Read about that here.)
My heart is to see people turn to God by faith and repentance by understanding the good news of Jesus Christ, to grow up in Him and learn to share Him with others. (I made a commitment to share the gospel daily on January 1, 2004. Read about it here.)
Community Church of the Hills is a fellowship committed to teaching biblical truth through expository preaching in a way that is practical and understandable to today’s culture.
Our church services are on Sunday, 10:30AM in Johnson City at 212 Klett Ranch Rd.
