He has had a lifelong passion for music and is grateful to God for giving him this opportunity to share his love of music and his love of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Justin Israel Perez - Youth Pastor / Specialist

Email Justin Israel

Justin has been part of New Life Church since 2006.  He has been blessed with a strong heart for the youth of our community.  Justin believes that a strong impact made on our youth can make a big difference in our near and long term future.
 
The youth is the future of the leaders of the Church.  Statistics show that by the present rate of evangelism only 4% of this teenage generation will be Bible believing by the time they reach their mid 20's.  That's simply not acceptable and New Life will make a difference. 

Justin is the husband of his beautiful wife Lesley Perez and they have two wonderful children together, Presley age 3 and Israel (Izzy) age 1 and have also been blessed with the opportunity to help impact the lives of 2 beautiful teenage girls, Alicia Puerto and Khiry Franke.  Justin has been a member of New Life's 'Jones Road Worship Band' as the bassist for the past 4 years and stomps the stage with passion as he helps Steve Perez lead the congregation in praise and worship to our Lord.
