oises Gomez doesn’t just see his time at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) as one of knowledge acquisition. Instead, he sees how each class shaped him holistically to live out the Great Commission in every aspect of his life. Before coming to SEBTS in 2015, Gomez started his ministry in the Dominican Republic and began to pray for the opportunity to be further equipped to serve the Church wherever God called him. He sees how God is answering that prayer through theological training and the call to help Hispanic families in the DallasFort Worth (DFW) metroplex. “We are training people in the same way — using theology as an instrument of grace to shape, train, and equip people for their lives,” said Gomez, who now serves as the Spanish Pastor at First Irving Baptist Church in Irving, Texas.
