Our Church Planting Family
Jorge was born and raised in El Salvador. He came to Jesus at age 19 in 1998 and soon after, he felt called to vocational ministry and served as a full-time staff at Great Commission Church, in San Salvador, dedicating most of his time to preach the Gospel and Make disciples at High Schools and College Campuses for 14 years.
Jorge’s wife, Sarah, originally from Annapolis, MD. Committed her life to Jesus back in 2001, and early in her walk, God called her to do missions in El Salvador. Following the Lord’s calling, she went through a preparation process to become a full time missionary in El Salvador and was sent out in 2004 by her home church, Bay Area Community Church (BACC), based in Annapolis, MD. In partnership with a missions agency named Great Commission Ministries, Sarah served for nearly 10 years as BACC’S Missionaries to El Salvador.
Sarah and Jorge got married in 2009 so they have been married for 10 years now, and have two beautiful Children, Sophia 7 years old and Jorge Jr. 5 years old.
In the year 2016, Jorge and Sarah felt called by God to move back to the Annapolis area, MD. To dedicate this new stage of their lives to establish churches in partnership with BACC and the SENT Network. Their Vision now, is to plant Axis Church in the City of Severn, which is a Multicultural church with the mission to make disciples of people from all backgrounds and ethnicities “To Inspire them to make Jesus the Axis (The center) of their lives.”
Our Leadership
Our Planting Team
God has raised an amazing group of people from all walks of life to plant Axis Church in Severn. The team is formed by several families and individuals, and each and every one of them has brought a “peace of the puzzle” in their hands given by God to build up His church.
They all play a crucial role in the establishment and development of each ministry team, which has the ultimate goal to promote a Kingdom environment for people to have an encounter with Jesus and be inspired to make Him the center of their lives through the power of Biblical preaching, intimate worship, selfless service, and the unconditional love of its members.
Axis Church is a family of believers from different backgrounds that work together as a team for the glory of our King Jesus. We can’t wait to see many more families and individuals join us in this amazing journey to establish a church – a church that expands its influence across cultural differences and across the borders of our city in the years to come.
