Carlos L. Peña, Senior Pastor
Rev. Carlos L. Peña came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior through a friend who shared the Gospel during his college years at the University of the Philippines. As a young Christian, he grew in faith through an evangelistic singing group from his church and discipleship efforts of Cru (CCC) at the time he was completing his degree in Civil Engineering. He became active as a leader in youth fellowships and evangelism which led to God’s call for him to enter the ministry. After a few years working as an engineer, he married Suzette Topacio, and together devoted five years studying and preparing for the ministry. At Grace Theological Seminary in Indiana, USA Carlos earned his Masters in Divinity and Theology.
In 1991 he returned to the Philippines to serve with Far East Broadcasting Co. (FEBC) as a radio bible teacher. From 1995-2003 he served FEBC Philippines as President overseeing the radio ministry in the Philippines and language broadcasts to Asia. During this time, he was involved in various preaching and teaching ministries in the Philippines and abroad. In 2003, he moved to Singapore to begin and direct the office of FEBC International for 8 years. In 2011, he planted a multi-ethnic house church network in Singapore called Life Change Fellowship. He was also a regular preacher in both Singaporean and Filipino churches and a lecturer at the East Asia School of Theology until he was called to be the Senior Pastor of Cornerstone International Christian Church. He and his family moved to California on February 2017.
Carlos is married to Suzette and together they have three adult children: Karissa, Natalie, and Gibby.
