Oak Creek Assembly of God Welcomes New Pastor

Oak Creek Assembly of God recently added a minister to their flock. Pastor Juan M. Garay was brought in to expand and develop the church's International Ministries.

Before his placement here, Pastor Juan worked as a minister at several Florida churches. Under his leadership, one church in San Antonio, Florida quadrupled in size over an eight year period. During this time he also completed his education at Southeastern University, graduating with a B.A. in Church Leadership. 

Pastor Juan is no stranger to Oak Creek though. In the late 90's, he lived in the Milwaukee area and actually attended Oak Creek Assembly of God with his wife Celines. While there, he became involved with the church's music and youth programs, but his calling eventually took him south.

Now he's returned to the area to help increase communication between the church and International parishioners. His work will ensure that people who have moved to Milwaukee from all over the world can find a home at their church. 

Individuals representing 23 different nations currently attend the church, but with Pastor Juan's help, they hope that number will increase. "We want to emphasize that at OCAG we love and welcome everyone from any walk of life, language, and country. Ministering to the unique needs of internationals is a natural extension of our ministry to every individual in our community", says Garay.

At Oak Creek Assembly of God, Pastor Juan works alongside Senior Pastor Brooks and Young Adult Pastor Brooks. Those looking to contact Pastor Juan may do so at jgaray@oakcreekag.org or call on him at the church - located 7311 S. 13 Street.
