Pastoral Leadership
Pastor Johnny & Pastora Patricia Perez
Senior Pastors
With over 26 years of pastoral experience, Pastors Johnny and Patricia lead Arise Church with a passion for the lost and a desire to advance the Kingdom of God on earth.
Pastors Johnny and Patricia serve as Senior Pastors at Arise Church in Lubbock, Texas. With over 26 years of pastoral experience, they have established themselves as influential voices in their city and community. Their commitment to giving back has led to the establishment of a homeless ministry and the Knitted in Love Program, which supports teenage mothers and fathers facing unexpected pregnancies, as well as their support with missions in Mexico. They lead a Holy Spirit-filled church, driven by a passion for the lost and a desire to advance the Kingdom of God on earth. Spending time with their family, including their three grandchildren, is what brings them their greatest joy.
