Pastor Jose & Brenda Valdez

Pastor Jose was raised Catholic by his hard-working parents. While in high school, he received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. Pastors Jose and Brenda have been married since 2004. They are blessed with 4 beautiful children.

God's Church:

As a church family, we are called to be a life giving (nurturing) family to our community by developing spiritual gifts through relationships, mentoring, and opportunities for action. We are servant leaders motivated by Godly compassion to give of our time and resources. Our core values are to Love, Serve, and Bless.

The Vision:

Our vision is to have the five fold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, & Teacher) operating in the church. These are God's gifts to His people. We are one body, one family, and every one is important.

The Call:

In 2011, The Lord called Pastor Jose to use his life as an example to encourage, motivate, love, and serve others. Both Pastor Jose & Brenda graduated from Charis Bible College with Degrees in Biblical Studies and Minister's Licenses. They were ordained by Andrew Wommack in June 2019. Grace & Faith Church launched in Rhome, TX in August 2020. After 3 years in Rhome, TX, we re-launched GFC in Downtown Fort Worth, TX on August 13th, 2023. The Lord called us to serve and minister in Downtown Fort Worth. We haven't finished our assignment and are excited to continue serving The Lord in Downtown Fort Worth.

The Miracle:

In November of 2009, Pastor Jose was invited by a Charis Alumni to attend a Gospel Truth Seminar (GTS) in Irving, TX because he had terrible back pain. He struggled with back issues for approximately 10 years. On Saturday morning, November 14, 2009, a medical doctor told Pastor Jose that due to the pain he was experiencing, he needed back surgery immediately.

Pastor Jose didn’t want the back surgery and after receiving this information, he attended the last service of the GTS believing for a miracle but unsure of his future. He heard Andrew Wommack for the 1st time in his life. Andrew taught on faith vs unbelief. Pastor Jose prayed a simple and sincere prayer while sitting in his chair as Andrew continued teaching. A few moments later, while still sitting in his chair, all the pain was instantly gone. Praise God! His back was healed, and he never had the back surgery.
