Reaching the Community
Where is God leading the church? That's a question Pastors Doug Sauder and Virgil Sierra ask. As pastors in South Florida, they say their job is to mobilize the church body to action. That starts with teaching, worship and prayer. They talk with Ed Stetzer about how the church can impact the community on Ed Stetzer Live.
IN THIS EPISODE
Doug Sauder
For the past fifteen years, Pastor Doug Sauder has been on staff at Calvary Chapel in Fort Lauderdale, serving in a variety of pastoral roles. He preaches weekend and mid-week services as well as serves on the board of 4KIDS of South Florida. As part of his role as lead pastor, he leads the teaching and vision teams as they work hard to fulfill a mission to make disciples in South Florida and beyond. Doug and his wife Suzanne are raising their 3 boys, whom they call their “sons of thunder.”
Virgil Sierra
Virgil Sierra is the Lead Pastor of VERTICAL Church. But before he came to Vertical, he spent 10 years serving the community as an occupational therapist in hospitals, mental health wards, and pediatric clinics. Those skills have helped him in understanding human behavior, human development, family dynamics, as well as the importance of simply ‘helping people.’ Virgil is also the founder and lead singer of the internationally renowned Christian music ministry of CONTAGIOUS, which has been impacting people of all ages throughout Latin America and the U.S. for over 15 years. Virgil and his wife Gislaine have three children, Caleb, Sophia, and Nicholas.
