Mauricio Rivas

PASTOR OF HISPANIC MINISTRIES

It is a privilege and joy to be a part of Village with my entire family. I serve the Hispanic Ministry along with my wife Aleida and our five children.
God called me to serve in full-time ministry when we were living in Vancouver, Canada. I had the opportunity to be part of the formation of one of the largest Hispanic churches in Canada in 1988, and God used that time to form me, teach me, and prepare me for ministry. We asked the Lord what His plans were for us, and He called me to prepare myself; to study His Word in a deeper way. We moved to Guatemala, where I graduated from SETECA, a seminary extension of Dallas Seminary, with an emphasis in Biblical Teaching. I am now in the process of obtaining my degree in Missions.

It is our passion to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the Hispanic community, to edify the saints through Biblical teaching and challenge the body of Christ to proclaim the gospel.
Psalm 27:4

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and enquire in his temple.
