Ruben & Nora Barboza martinez
el faro, Pastors
Since 2011, Ruben and Nora have led our Hispanic ministry, El Faro. They worship, pray, and serve our community from their own campus, but we are ONE church, two languages. Ruben and Nora have two children who are both involved in ministry. They have both served in their native country of Uruguay in the medical and military fields, as well as pastoring a local church. Both are Ordained with the Church of God, Cleveland, TN, USA, and lead this thriving ministry. Faithful prayer warriors and laborers are they.
Jeannie & Jason Luallen
Associate Pastor
Jeannie has dedicated over thirty years to ministry, including more than a decade serving as a children's pastor. Throughout her ministry journey, she has worked passionately to share the love of Christ and equip others for service, particularly through her leadership and care for children and families.
Alongside her husband, Jason, whom she has been married to for twenty years, Jeannie has raised five children who have also served in ministry with her, making it a family endeavor to spread the Gospel. Together, they are a testament to the power of faith and teamwork in ministry.
Jeannie holds a degree from Lee University and is an Ordained Minister with the Church of God. Her leadership extends beyond her local church. She served on the board of the Tennessee Youth and Children’s Leader’s Association for six years, four of those as President. Currently, she is a member of the State of Tennessee Youth and Discipleship Board for the Church of God, continuing to influence the next generation of church leaders.
Jeannie’s life and ministry are driven by a deep sense of purpose and commitment to serving others. Ephesians 2:10 encapsulates her mission and heart for ministry. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." This verse reflects Jeannie's belief that every person has a unique calling to serve in God's kingdom. She is dedicated to helping others discover and live out that calling.
