White Fields welcomes our two new board members. You can read a brief biography about each of them below.

Dr. Alex Granados was born in Bogotá, Colombia. He has been in the ministry since 1987 with extensive cross-cultural ministry experience among African Americans, Asians, Caucasians, and Hispanics. He attended the University of California at Los Angeles and graduated with a B.A. in Political Science focusing on International Relations and Comparative Politics. He attended The Master’s Seminary and graduated with a M.Div. and Th.M. in Systematic Theology. He received his Ph.D. in Intercultural Education at Biola University.

Alex received Christ while attending high school. Having grown up in a devout Catholic home, he began to ask many questions about the Bible but did not find the answers he was seeking. A friend invited him to attend a Bible study at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley California. He discovered a body of believers committed to the study of the Bible. He was encouraged to attend a discipleship group where he met several godly men who answered his biblical questions, leading him to understand salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Alex says, “Praise God, I understood my sin, what Christ has done, what God demands of me, counted the cost, and trusted Him.”

Alex is an Assistant Professor of Intercultural Studies at The Master’s College and Pastor of Discipleship Ministries at The Bridge Bible Fellowship in Reseda, CA. He also teaches International Business classes. Alex and his wife Dorian have been blessed with two wonderful daughters, Emma and Sophia. We are blessed to have both of these men join our board.

Pastor Larry Goding and his wife Donna reside in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Larry received Jesus Christ at seven years of age through the ministry of his mother in Child Evangelism Fellowship in West Chicago. He has degrees from Briercrest Bible College, Southwestern College in Phoenix, Denver Seminary and Nova Southeastern University. During 45 years of ministry he has specialized in ministry with the physically and mentally disabled, has been a Director of Christian Education and a Children’s Pastor, and served as a Christian School Administrator. He currently ministers as the Senior Pastor of Sun Village Community Church. Larry brings a wealth of administrative and pastoral experience to our board.

Larry and Donna have been married 46 years and have four grown children and ten grandchildren. When Larry was a young boy his parents served as missionaries on the Navajo Indian reservation out of Farmington, NM. He worked with his brother and sisters to construct buildings on the compound and learned to minister among the Navajo boys. Over the years God has used Larry in several mission trips giving him cross-cultural experiences.

“An emphasis on missions has always been a vital part of my family life from as early as I can remember. As a pastor, I believe that attention to missions is crucial to the health of the local church. White Fields provides excellent stewardship for the funds donated. Supporting national church planters is a great method to expand the ministry of spreading the gospel in foreign countries because the indigenous pastor already knows the language and fits into the local culture. By creating a partnership with national church planters and North American churches, the process of planting self-sustaining churches overseas can be enhanced.” - Pastor Larry Goding
