BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board President

Tony Hernandez was born in Dallas, where he grew up in a home rich with love, though not with material wealth. As a teenager, his family moved to Mineral Wells, and at 18 he enlisted in the military, proudly serving for six years.

After his service, Tony pursued education through the GI Bill, studying welding at Weatherford College and heating and air conditioning at Lincoln Tech. He now owns and operates his own air conditioning company.

Tony’s greatest passion is serving the Lord. Along with his wife, he serves as a Kids Pastor, pouring into the next generation. He is currently attending the District School of Ministry, certified as a pastor, and working toward his license with plans to pursue ordination.

Through it all, Tony strives to live a life of honesty, obedience, and faith—seeking daily to be the man God has called him to be and giving thanks for the many blessings the Lord has provided.
