PASTOR JUAN BARUCH

On August 29, 1992, I had a life-changing supernatural encounter with God. At the time, I was caught in a cycle of gang affiliation, alcohol, and drug abuse — but that night, God set me free.

In 1994, after reading a local newspaper headline about the tragic killings of young men in Long Beach and Compton, I was deeply moved with compassion. Determined to make a difference, I began organizing gang rallies throughout the neighborhoods of L.A. County, sharing a message of hope and transformation. Soon, juvenile halls and youth authorities invited me to share my testimony, allowing me to reach even more young lives.

In 1996, I was called to serve as the Youth Pastor at Heritage Family Fellowship under Pastor Art Aragon. There, I trained young people in street evangelism and embarked on several mission trips abroad, spreading the Gospel.

In 2005, I was ordained into full-time ministry by Pastors Art Aragon and Dr. Ed Dufresne.

Today, I serve as the Senior Pastor of Beyond The 4 Walls Church in Long Beach, California, where I continue to equip the body of Christ to become skillful in both the Word and the Spirit. My mission is to raise up a local church that walks in the power of God’s Word according to His Spirit as we bring His love and truth to our communities.
