Pastor Albert was born and raised in Brazil but already has a Texan heart! At 19 he moved to Plainview, TX to study at Wayland Baptist University, where — at a Lord of the Rings marathon — he met his wife Caroline, a native of Germany with a Ph.D in Biology who serves as our Director of Missions. Albert first came to FBC Gordon as Youth and Missions Pastor and was called as Lead Pastor in May 2022. Together, Albert and Caroline have a son named Elliot.
