Growing up in hard seasons, Carlos learned to be tough and protect those he loved, often carrying pain on his own. After walking away from church and losing his best friend to gun violence, he found himself searching for something to heal the hurt. When he returned to CedarCreek, Carlos realized what had been missing all along — life with God. Choosing to let Jesus lead, he experienced a spiritual awakening, was baptized, and now uses his story to speak hope into the lives of others. Check out Carlos’ story.
