Student Pastor Interview Paper

Alyda Reyes, a staff member of the church, Centro Vida, and a student pastor of its student ministry, was able to provide insights in regards to the ministry. When she attended Bible College, the church provided her an opportunity to serve within the church. She is under Pastor Jonathan Shivers, who is in charge of all student involvements, and Pastor Jonathan Shivers and Alyda Reyes are under the Senior Pastor, John Shivers.

For several years, Alyda has overseen the student ministry under Pastor Jonathan.
