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.

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, and I’m a first-generation American. My family came to the United States from Cuba during a time of civil unrest. I’ve spent more than 30 years of my life in Key Biscayne, a community that I deeply love and have had the privilege of serving as a coach, mentor, and leader. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to invest in generations of children, students, and families, and those relationships have helped shape my heart for ministry.
I began serving in church ministry more than a decade ago and have been blessed to serve in a variety of roles along the way. At the heart of everything I do is a simple desire: to help people know Jesus, grow in their faith, and live out the Gospel in their everyday lives.
My wife, Becky, and I have two daughters, Nani, who serves on the worship team, and Nia Maya. Ministry has truly become a family calling for us. Becky has been a Christian educator for nearly 20 years and has faithfully served in children’s ministry in various roles for the better part of the last 15 years. Her heart for children, education, and helping the next generation know Jesus has been an incredible part of our family’s life and ministry.
Today, I have the privilege of serving Crossbridge Key Biscayne as Campus Director, Youth Pastor, Children’s Ministry Director, and Small Groups Director. I also serve the Key Biscayne Presbyterian School community as Chaplain.
My desire is to see Crossbridge Key Biscayne continue to grow as a Christ-centered church that loves God, loves people, builds strong families, and intentionally disciples the next generation. I believe God has uniquely positioned our church to be a light for Jesus on the island, and my prayer is that our impact would extend far beyond Key Biscayne as we help people discover the hope, grace, and transforming power of the Gospel.
