We are an Elder-run church, meaning that our leadership and governance are guided by a group of experienced and spiritually mature individuals. These elders are entrusted with the responsibility of providing spiritual oversight, guidance, and care for our congregation. Our elders and deacons are:
Jason Tate
I am the husband of the beautiful Kaiti Tate and father of eight, yes you read that right, eight- beautiful, goofy, smart, fun, energetic, and sometimes trying children. My children at the at the time of writing this range from fifteen years old and younger. (Yes, we own a t.v. and yes we know what causes this! Ha!)
I enjoy doing most all things outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. It is a pleasure taking my children on any and all adventures. Many men love to get away without their kiddos and I must admit I occasionally do too, but I enjoy it more when they can go with me and we can partake in these adventures together.
The most important aspect of who I am though is that I am a believer in Jesus Christ and I am thankful that He calls me friend. I serve as an overseer at Texas House of Prayer in Alvarado, a little town south of Fort Worth. I love seeing people come into the knowledge of all that God has done for them in Christ.
Andrew Thompson
Hey there, I am Andrew Thompson. The Lord Jesus saved me in 2021. Everything and I mean everything in my life changed that year because the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ made me a new person. I am so thankful for everything Jesus has done and continues to do in my life. I have a beautiful wife, Jacinda, who came to faith in the Lord around the same time I did. The Lord has blessed us with three beautiful daughters, Lainey, Addie, and Harper. I don’t just attend Texas House Of Prayer International, these people are my people, the Lords people, my family. I am honored, happy and thankful to serve as a Deacon here.
Dustin Lewis
Hey, I’m Dustin—husband to Stephanie and dad to five amazing kids: Caleb, Brenna, Mitchell, Raylan, and Cashel. Life’s full around here, and I love it. You’ll usually find me cooking something up, working out, playing cards, or just goofing off with the kids.
I’ve been a believer my whole life, but in recent years, my walk with the Lord has grown deeper and more intentional. I’m learning that growth comes through truly desiring Him and being faithful to what He asks of me. I’m not perfect, but I’m being refined—and that’s the journey.
My heart is for the Church to be united in Jesus and grounded in His truth. That’s where we thrive as churches – rooted and grounded as The Church Jesus is building.
