Felipe Assis was born in Brazil but was raised between his native country and the United States. He has earned a TH. B from Seminario Presbiteriano do Norte and M.Div from Reformed Theological Seminary. Felipe has previously founded and pastored two other churches in Recife, Brazil.

In 2008, at the invitation of Redeemer City to City, Felipe with his wife Beth and (then two) young daughters moved to Miami to plant Crossbridge Church to serve as a catalyst to a gospel movement in Miami.

Beth holds a master’s degree in mental health psychology and international education and deeply complements Felipe in ministry. Together, they enjoy life in Miami with their four daughters.
