Alexandra Alvarez
Bookkeeping Clerk
I grew up in the Los Angeles area, specifically in North Hollywood, where I spent most of my life surrounded by the vibrant energy of the city. It’s a place that shaped me, offering both the excitement of city life and a deep sense of connection to the diverse cultures around me. Now, I’m happily married to my wonderful husband, and we’ve been together for 10 years. Our family is full of life, with three beautiful children—twins Landon and Natalia, who are 4, and our youngest, Ava, who is 3. They fill our home with joy, laughter, and plenty of energy every day.
My relationship with Christ began in 2022 during a time of personal struggle. I was facing challenges in my marriage and family relationships, and in the midst of those difficulties, I found a deep need for connection and guidance. That’s when I really came to know Him—when I opened my heart and sought His presence. It’s been a journey of growth and transformation.
After taking a few years off from the working world to stay home with my little ones, I felt a strong pull to serve others in ministry. I knew it was where I was meant to be, helping others while also deepening my own faith. Though I’ve been serving in ministry for less than a year, the experience has been incredibly fulfilling. One of the most meaningful aspects for me has been the relationships I’ve built within the ministry. The sense of community and shared mission makes the work feel purposeful, and seeing how it impacts both others and myself has made it even more rewarding.
