Senior Pastor :

Anthony “Tony” Ramos

 

 

With a deep conviction that God has called our family to plant a church in Spring Hill, Florida, Pastor Tony leads the congregation with a heart for biblical teaching, authentic discipleship, and a genuine love for God’s people.

Born in New York City, Tony moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, at the age of 14. At 20 years old, he experienced a genuine encounter with the Lord that began a life-changing journey of faith. Although his walk with Christ was later challenged by trials, temptations, and seasons of spiritual distance, God graciously used those experiences to draw him back to Himself. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tony experienced a renewed calling to repentance and a deeper awareness of the urgency of living faithfully for Christ in a world in need of the Gospel.

For approximately the last six years, he has devoted himself to studying Scripture, growing in his understanding of God’s Word, and seeking to live out the truth he teaches. During this season of his life, he also met his beautiful and lovely wife, Nida. Together, they share a commitment to serving the Lord and ministering to others.

Although Pastor Tony is currently in the process of obtaining a bachelor's in computer science, he has not attended seminary. He is transparent about his educational background and remains open to pursuing formal theological education in the future. In the meantime, he is deeply committed to studying the Bible diligently, handling Scripture responsibly, and continually growing in his understanding of God’s Word. His desire is not simply to teach from personal opinion or tradition, but to faithfully communicate what he believes the Scriptures teach and to encourage others to search the Scriptures for themselves.

As Pastor Tony and Nida begin this church-planting journey, their desire is to build a Christ-centered community where people can grow in the knowledge of God, develop authentic relationships with one another, and become faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Their prayer is that everything taught, practiced, and built through this ministry would ultimately point people back to Jesus Christ and the truth of His Word.

Women's ministry leader :

Nida Ramos

Serving wholeheartedly alongside her husband, Pastor Tony, Nida is passionate about encouraging women and creating spaces where they can grow in faith, find genuine community, and experience the grace of God. She leads the women’s ministry with warmth, empathy, compassion, and a desire to walk alongside women through the different seasons and challenges of life.

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Nida spent part of her childhood living in Pakistan, where she was exposed to Islamic culture and gained a unique perspective on faith and the importance of understanding different cultures and backgrounds. Her childhood and teenage years were also marked by personal struggles that she carried through different seasons of her life. These experiences have given her a deeper sense of empathy for those who may be walking through difficult emotional, spiritual, or personal circumstances.

Nida later moved to California and eventually to New York City before relocating to Tampa, Florida, in 2016. She pursued a career in nursing, developing skills centered around caring for people with compassion, patience, and understanding. Her experiences in nursing have strengthened her desire to serve others and have given her a unique perspective on the importance of caring for the whole person.

Through her own journey, Nida has continued to grow in her relationship with the Lord and develop a deeper desire to understand God’s Word. She is open to pursuing a degree in biblical counseling in the future as she continues preparing for ministry and seeking ways to better serve women who may be experiencing difficult seasons in their lives. Her desire is to use both her personal experiences and professional background to encourage women toward Christ, remind them of the hope found in God, and help create an environment where women feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to grow in their faith.

Together with Pastor Tony, Nida is committed to serving the Lord and helping build a Christ-centered church community in Spring Hill. Her prayer is that the women’s ministry will become a place where women from different backgrounds and walks of life can come together, study God’s Word, develop authentic relationships, encourage one another, and grow closer to Jesus Christ.

 

Connect with our team

 

As a small home church, we are currently in the preliminary stages of building our ministry. At this time, we do not yet have a formal team of elders, greeters, praise and worship leaders, or other ministry teams. As we continue to grow, we trust that God will bring the right people into our fellowship who are willing and equipped to help serve the congregation, welcome our visitors, and support the work He has placed before us.

We believe that ministry is not built by one person alone, but through believers working together according to the gifts and calling God has given each of us. We want to be transparent about where we are as a growing church while remaining open to what God has in store for our future.

If you are prayerfully considering becoming part of our ministry and feel led to serve in one of these areas—or if you have gifts, experience, or a heart for serving that you believe could benefit our fellowship—we would love to meet you. We welcome the opportunity to get to know you, to pray together, and to discover how we can serve Christ and His people.

 

“And when James, Cephas, and John—who were regarded as pillars—recognized the grace that had been given to me, they extended to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship.”
