A Note from our Founder and Presiding Bishop:
Beloved Bishops, Pastors, Directors, Ministers, Ministry / Church Members and Students: Greetings in the name of Jesus, our living Savior and loving Lord. On this page, I will attempt to describe our ministries and mention a few members of our management team who have been with us for many years. We have also assembled a section of ministry photos (below) from our branches around the world.

Greetings beloved servants of Christ:
We have been very blessed to meet leaders and assist in developing a large ministry network, around the world over 39 years of gospel ministry. We were even honored to have a private meeting with former Philippine President; Gloria Arroyo in 2009, at the Malacanang Palace in Manila, home of the President.
By our Lord’s Grace, since 1980, we have established thousands of churches and independent NCU and NTS educational branches which have affiliated with our Worldwide Church of Jesus Christ and NTS Seminary and NCU University educational ministries in the USA, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
At our peak, our ministries had more than 4,000 affiliated church and educational branches in 40 countries around the world… To God be the Glory!
God has blessed us with the following dedicated ministry leaders:
Samuel Galloza our Administrative President at ministry headquarters in the USA, is managing the USA based online educational ministry responsibilities including both the English and Spanish programs and all of the administrative duties involved with our large online educational ministries. Dr. Galloza has served Northwestern for over 18 years.
Note: NCU / Northwestern Christian University is under separate management from NTS / Northwestern Theological Seminary. Dr. Samuel Galloza has been re-assigned and focuses predominantly on United States based students. NCU focuses on worldwide enrollments.
Mrs. Yolanda Rivera continues her professional responsibilities while serving as a very valuable team member in the capacity of Northwestern’s Registrar and Director of Admissions. Yolanda has faithfully served Northwestern for over 15 years. She is the head of our administrative / educational staff at Northwestern and approves all applications for enrollment. All of our students and alumni over the past 15 years know Yolanda well for her Christ like patience, courtesy and kindness.
Special appreciation is deserved by our Vice President of International Ministries and Senior Bishop of Pakistan; Dr. Jefferson Ghauri, who has been instrumental in planting many churches and educational branches throughout Asia, Africa and the Middle East over the span of 14 years.
Our leaders in Asia and the Philippines are: Senior Bishop; Dr. Danilo Bornales over our Asia network and Senior Bishop; Dr. Teodoro Garvida over our Philippine network. There service unto the Lord has resulted in the establishing of hundreds of WCJC affiliated churches, ministry branches and independent NCU University branches throughout Asia and the Philippines. Bishop Garvida has been with us for 15 years.
We are honored to have many church and ministry leaders throughout the continent of Africa. One such leader is Bishop; Dr. Charles Botes of South Africa. Bishop Botes is responsible for a large network of churches and NCU University branches in Africa. Bishop; Botes is an alumnus of both our NTS Seminary and NCU University and has been a senior leader with our ministries for over 9 years.
As Presiding Bishop, by the Grace of our Lord, I intend to focus on development of our WCJC Church network and NTS / NCU educational ministries as well as our Worldwide evangelism and discipleship ministries worldwide. Many ministries have joined us and chartered new Churches in affiliation with our Worldwide Church of Jesus Christ and also added to the increase of our large NTS / NCU branch network worldwide. I will continue to work with our Senior Bishops, Bishops, Pastors, Ministers and Missionaries around the world as we focus on growth and development.
Please feel free to contact me whenever a need arises for ministry development, or simply for fellowship as I remain not just a Pastor for our Pastors, but more importantly, your brother in Christ Jesus.
