About Us

Buen Pastor Church

Buen Pastor Church is a bilingual Spanish and English Assemblies of God church. We are located in the city of Rialto in the Inland Empire of Southern California. Our worship services include praise and worship that is both contemporary and traditional. You’ll hear a Gospel message that is filled with hope, strengthens your faith and challenges you to take the Gospel everywhere you go.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to encourage you to take a step towards God so you can experience the endless possibilities God has for you. Buen Pastor Church is ready to help you take that step.

OUR VISION

We aspire to be a church family — a family that loves God genuinely, a church that serves Him passionately and a community that makes Him known.

The reality is that life is unpredictable

It can be comprehensible one moment and confusing the next. It can also be just as rewarding, resulting in feelings of gratitude and genuine bliss. In one of his most notable Psalms, David spoke about God’s provision, protection, and promise over his life. Even with the various trials and challenges he faced, the one unchanging factor in David’s life was God, his Good Shepherd.

Just as David proclaimed, we, too, at Buen Pastor testify to the goodness and mercy we have found in God. We don’t claim to know everything, but if there is one thing we do know, it’s that having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the son of God, changes lives.

OUR PASTORS

Meet Ernesto and Vicky Martinez, the founding and senior pastors of Buen Pastor Church! For over 25 years, Ernesto and Vicky have been serving the Inland Empire together and have helped individuals connect with God and discover their lives’ purpose.
