Equipo | Embajadores Church

Pastors Victor and Nathalis Hernandez are visionaries, founders, innovators, and authors with a remarkable apostolic and prophetic anointing. They both love people and wholeheartedly seek to equip healthy leaders. Both are humorous and genuine, and strive to live their faith every day. With nothing to their name and only 13 people, they launched their first church in mid-2019. Their journey in their new role as pastors began in early 2017 when they were called to assist a church in transition in Ontario, Ohio. There, they humbly got their start. About a year later, God led them to their mother church, Storyside Church. There, they grew and were shaped into who they are today. By the end of 2018, God was still prompting them to start a Hispanic church near Cleveland.

It was there that they felt God's calling to launch their first church in Cleveland, Ohio, about six months before the pandemic, but not before seeking mentorship and training. Following their theological studies, they spent over a year learning new things that would strengthen their future ministry. Their church survived the pandemic, but they had to move to North Royalton, where God provided them with their first building to begin a new work from scratch. Their vision can only be described as refreshing and modern, encompassing a unique and distinct style of service, with their visitors (whom they call "Guests of Honor") at the heart of what they call the Ambassadors Experience.

With their passion, they inspire others to live a life devoted to Christ while remaining true to their own humanity. They were united before birth! And with great honor, they bear the responsibility of making a difference in their community, their city, and the entire world, empowered by the one true gospel of the Kingdom and His eternal grace toward us all.

Their goal is to raise up the next generation of God-loving, Kingdom-minded leaders! Their strong bond is evident at first glance. They do everything together and work exceptionally well as ministry colleagues. Married for over 20 years, both graduated from Ashland Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts in Christian Ministries and Theology. They are also both alumni of Galileo Theological Center and have traveled the world sharing the true Gospel of the Kingdom where it is most needed. Pastor Victor is also the Program Coordinator and Professor of Theology at Galileo Seminary, a mentor at Ashland Theological Seminary, and a member of AETH (the Association for Hispanic Theological Education).

They currently live in Parma, Ohio with their two adorable dogs, Summer and Logan.
