Keynote Speakers
Pastor Antonio Muñoz
Spanish Pastor of Redeemer Community Church in Katy, TX
Antonio is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute (B.A., 2001) and Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M., 2005). He has pastored churches in Mexico City, Chicago, and Dallas and launched Redeemer en Español in October 2016. Located in Katy, Texas, Redeemer en Español follows the model of One Church – Two Congregations.
When Antonio was 16 years old, he attended a Bible Study led by Dan Wicher. Antonio realized that he did not know Jesus like the men in the Bible Study knew Jesus. Shortly thereafter, he placed his faith in Christ alone for salvation.
Pastor Antonio is well-known by our friends with the Tlapaneco Indian Ministry in Mexico and has taught at the Bible School there several times.
Antonio is married to Becky and they have two daughters, Jessica and Susanna. Becky has served in worship and women’s ministries, speaking at conferences internationally.
