Jose Fernandez

José has been serving as one of the pastors at Emmanuel Baptist Church since March 2025. He was born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, to a loving family. At the age of 3, he emigrated with his parents and two brothers to Florida in 1998. Before joining EBC, José grew up in a Baptist church. However, by God’s unmerited favor, he came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as a young boy.

José is married to Gianella, and they have two children: Ella Naomi and Abel Hudson. He has been working in the Healthcare Staffing Industry since 2017 and is currently completing his studies at Reformed Baptist Seminary. Additionally, José is a native Spanish speaker.
