Why grace?
The Bible is a story of God’s grace from beginning to end. It is one thing to read about grace in Scripture, but it is another thing to personally experience its power, forgiveness, and transformation. When you truly encounter God’s grace, it changes everything. Grace Life Church was born out of a desire to help others experience that same life-changing grace and discover the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Raised in a Christian home, Pastor Omar sensed God’s call to ministry at an early age. Yet, like many, life brought seasons of hurt, disappointment, and mistakes that delayed the pursuit of that calling. Through God’s faithfulness, grace, and redemption, that calling never faded. Today, Pastor Omar is honored to serve as the founding pastor of Grace Life Church, sharing the same grace that transformed his own life.
Pastor Omar and his wife, Ainy, were married on New Year’s Day in 2005. They met in Puerto Rico and later moved to the United States as Omar pursued a career in military service. Together, they are blessed with three children, Ailany, Nia, and Jeshua, and a lively household that also includes a a beagle-shepherd mix.
Their journey has given them a deep passion for serving others, particularly Hispanic families, military families, and those searching for hope, healing, and a place to belong. Their prayer is that every person who walks through the doors of Grace Life Church will encounter the love of Jesus, experience His amazing grace, and find a church family where they can grow and thrive.
