Family & legacy
With Eukarys, their children, and their grandchildren, he belongs to a family in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ, one in which faith, leadership, and a calling to ministry are passed from generation to generation.
ABOUT CHRISTIAN
A pastor, theologian, strategist, and artist.
Venezuelan by birth and American by choice, Christian Sebastia is a pastor, theologian, leadership strategist, and artist whose life unites the pulpit, the classroom, the family, and the recording studio.
Christian writes and speaks in a style shaped by clear, biblical, pastoral reflection, bringing the wisdom of the Scriptures together with practical answers to the spiritual, emotional, and social challenges of our time. He does not communicate to entertain, but to form, to free, and to move people toward God’s purpose.
In more than thirty-five years of service to the Church, he has walked with hundreds of families and leaders through seasons of personal, emotional, and spiritual transformation. As a pastor and family counselor, he stays close in moments of rupture, searching, and healing, building a bridge between deep faith and everyday life.
His journey in music began in 1986 and has never stopped. As a songwriter and producer, he has led worship before tens of thousands; as a church planter, he has helped plant and network more than thirty churches. In both, he pursues one aim: that people would encounter the truth of Christ and be formed to transform their world.
He holds a Master of Arts in Leadership Formation (MALF) from Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan, an institution devoted to theological formation since 1876, and was ordained as a Minister of the Word by the Christian Reformed Church in North America. He lives in Houston, Texas, with his wife, Eukarys; together they serve the Hispanic community, planting and strengthening congregations.
