Our Pastor

Rev. Alberto Marquez pastors Faith Baptist Church/Iglesia Bautista “La fe,” in Glendale, Arizona. He graduated with a BA in Bible (‘96), and an MA in Pastoral Studies (‘98) from Bob Jones University, where he also met his wife, Adela.  He is currentrly pursuing an MDiv. from International Baptist College in Chandler, AZ.

Pastor Alberto was born in Mexico City. He was born again at age 14 through the influence of a street preacher in Puebla, Mexico. Alberto and his wife Adela have three adult children: Aaron, Abigail, and Anna Sofia. He planted “El Mesias Baptist Church” in Puebla, Mexico, in 1999. After the church was turned over to its new pastor in 2005, the Lord called the Marquez family to start a Spanish ministry in Glendale, AZ. By 2008, they became an independent, autonomous Spanish church, and in 2010, they became Faith Baptist Church/Iglesia Bautista La Fe, a fully bilingual Baptist church reaching a growing multi-cultural community.

Pastor Marquez has a burden to help plant new churches whether they hold services in Spanish, English or bilingually. The church often hosts “Cultural internships” for students from churches and Christian Colleges across America. He conducts an outreach ministry to reach professional baseball players from Latin America in Phoenix, Arizona through chapel services.

Pastor Marquez is actively involved with the AARBC, serves on the Board of Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, Iowa, and serves on the committee of the NCHO Think Tank (https://www.nchothinktank.com). He is also an experienced Hispanic ministry consultant, conference speaker, and interpreter.
