Gus Lopez
Pastor of Our Hope Nazarene Church in Minneapolis, MN
Pastor Gus moved to Dawson, ND, in 2010. Later, he moved to Jamestown while working at the car wash, where he met the Pastor of Primera Iglesia del Nazareno Church. He also met a few members of the J1Naz Church family. This led him to attend the J1Naz church. The Pastors of J1Naz mentored Gus through his journey to becoming a born-again Christian. This journey led him to help with community outreach and lead children’s ministry on Sundays. Gus then started Ministerial classes and was ordained in August 2024. Once ordained, he was asked to pastor the new church plant of Our Hope Church of the Nazarene in Minneapolis, MN
During his time in Jamestown, ND, he met his lovely wife, Esparanza, and they married in 2016. They have 11 children, 6 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson.
