Rubén Quintero: Pastoring In In-Between Places

In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Rubén Quintero shares his story of becoming a Christian as a child, learning to preach the Gospel as a teen and beginning to serve the church as a young adult; from scrubbing toilets at his church to managing their finances and finally planting his own church in El Centro, Rubén has spent his life saying “yes” to Jesus and the next thing in front of him. Rubén also shares his heart for Hispanic people, his culture and the movement of La Viña churches.

Rubén Quintero loves Jesus Christ, is the pastor of Imperial Valley Vineyard church in El Centro, CA, and is a chaplain for Workforce Chaplaincy, which allows him to serve hundreds of immigrants who work in agriculture in the US.  He is a CPA graduated from UABC in Mexicali, Mexico, and holds a Master’s in Theology from San Diego Christian University.  He is passionate about planting churches among the Hispanics in the U.S. Rubén is happily married to Vaneza and they have 3 wonderful boys – Rubén (16), David (13), and Iván (11).
