Our Pastor
Hector, was born on December 7, 1972, in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. After his family moved to the United States, he was invited to ride a Sunday school bus to a Baptist church, where he first heard the gospel. At the age of eight, he placed his faith in Christ during a week of Vacation Bible School. A few years later, on November 22, 1987, he felt a clear call to ministry—an influence that would guide his life.
Hector dedicated thirty years to the Cook County Sheriff’s Department, retiring as a Deputy Sheriff in October 2025. That same month, he accepted the call to become pastor of Zoar Community Church, officially starting his ministry there in January 2026.
He and his wife, Carrie, have been married for eighteen years and have two sons, Micah and Mateo. Carrie, a music teacher for the Bourbonnais School District, serves alongside him as Zoar’s worship minister.
We are blessed to serve the people of Zoar Community Church and look forward to serving those in our communities. We believe God has a plan for your life. So, our mission is to help you know God deeply, find true freedom from life’s hurts, and discover your unique purpose while encouraging you to step into your God-given calling. If you are looking for a place to belong, or you want to be a part of helping the Church grow, we would love to meet and get to know you. Come join us on Sundays at 10:00 AM.
God Bless,
Pastor Hector
