Carlos Rodriguez
Youth Pastor
Carlos Rodriguez is the youth pastor for the Hispanic ministry for the Sanctuary church in orange county.
Pastor Carlos was born in Acapulco, Mexico in 1982. Born into a dysfunctional family, Carlos grew up partying, drinking and doing drugs in Acapulco’s discos. At the age of 20, he gave his life to Jesus immediately acknowledging God’s call on his life. He eventually grew to become a youth leader at his church. He came to the US and unable to find a church filled with the Holy Spirit, he drifted away from God.
At age 25 he returned to the Lord and began working with teenagers and young adults. Since then, he has become a father figure to many of them. He ministers with an understanding of how it is to be hurt and grow up in a broken environment. He teaches them the value of their lives and why they were created. He delights to see young people have an encounter with God and watch them walk in the things God has prepared for them.
Pastor Carlos and his wife, Ariana, reside in Westminster, CA with their two children Jaslene and Viviani.
