At the age of 24, Pastor Rick underwent a transformative experience while immersing himself in the heavy metal sounds of Metallica back in September 1994. Recognizing the imperative to abandon his former lifestyle, he embraced purpose, spiritual values, and faith. This second chance sparked a powerful momentum, propelling Pastor Rick on a journey to uplift those ensnared in destructive cycles.
Amidst these challenging times, Pastor Rick confidently assumes the role of a servant leader, equipping others both locally and internationally. Serving as the Pastor of Iglesia Crosspoint, a bilingual church in Bellaire, Texas, and as a StaffEvangelist at West University Baptist Church, he is also a certified Life Coach and Spiritual Motivator accredited by John Maxwell. Beyond just teaching, Pastor Rick embodies the values he imparts.
The 1st Stone Recovery Support Group stands as a robust 12-week life intervention program.
