Pulpit Committee

Recommended Senior Pastor :

Omar was born in Puerto Rico into a Christian family and doesn’t remember a day when he didn’t know Christ as his Savior. He moved to Miami as a young boy and in high school began to truly understand the grace and power of Christ’s work and the Gospel.

While in college, Omar began to feel a call towards ministry. Throughout college Omar served as a youth minister at Faith Presbyterian church in Miami. After graduating from Trinity International University, he taught middle-school Bible for a couple of years before moving to Orlando to attend Reformed Theological Seminary. During seminary Omar led the college ministry at St. Paul’s Presbyterian church. He met, his future wife, Kate at RTS and they were married after they both graduated from the Seminary in 2004 - Omar with a Master of Divinity and Kate with a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies.

That same year Omar was called as an assistant pastor to Old Cutler Presbyterian Church in Miami. He was privileged to work alongside Craig Branson, a former pastor at LOPC. Omar was ordained there and served the people of Old Cutler for four and a half years. During his time at Old Cutler he was in charge of pastoral care. He had the opportunity to spend time and minister to everyone from homebound widows to new parents. He oversaw the church’s mercy ministry, working closely with the deacons, and ministry to young families.

Omar has a love for south Florida and has a desire to see its people and cities transformed by the truth and work of the Gospel. Omar and Kate are looking forward to getting to know and serving the people of Lake Osborne Presbyterian and pray God would bless their time and work here.
