Hailing from Rochester NY, Pastor Brian Torres has served as Assistant Pastor at Troy Christian Chapel since 2008. Brian received Christ in the summer before his senior year in high school. In that transformative moment, Christ radically altered Brian’s Life trajectory and the same week Brian felt an unmistakable call to the ministry. After immediately submitting himself to the leadership of his church for discipleship and training, Brian obeyed the call of God and pursued education for ministry. He attended Houghton College in New York, and Bethany Bible College in New Brunswick, Canada. He has earned Bachelor of Arts degrees in Educational Ministries and in Biblical Studies and has a minor in Psychology with a concentration in Youth Ministries. Apart from his degrees, Brian has completed the course requirements for ordination in the Wesleyan Church. While studying in Canada, he met his future bride, Dawn. They have been happily married since 1995 and have a son, Isaac.
Brian and Dawn have lived in Philadelphia where Brian served as Youth Pastor for 3 years. Spencerport, New York, where Brian served as Assistant Pastor for 5 years.
Brian loves the outdoors. He is an avid vegetable gardener, and he loves fishing.
Galatians 2:20 is Pastor Brian’s “life verse: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Pastor Brian’s heart is to serve the Church to see lives abundantly transformed by the love of Christ.
