Rev. Edwin Gonzalez-Gertz, MA. M.Div.

Edwin was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in a Protestant family that modeled the love of God, strength in family and faithfulness to the church. Early in his teens he had many questions about God and society. In God’s grace, Edwin began his spiritual journey at a Presbyterian Church in Puerto Rico. This church provided many answers and presented new questions. Above all, he was provided spiritual guidance and a solid biblical foundation. It was here that Edwin was inspired and motivated to go into ministry.

Edwin did undergraduate work in Sociology and Psychology at The University of South Florida before going to Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago to study theology and pastoral counseling. He was a counselor, preacher and teacher in church and college while also working in community social services in Chicago and Miami. Reverend Gonzalez-Gertz completed his M.Div. at The Florida Center for Theological Studies and was ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Chruch (USA) in 2005. He is a specialist in congregational transformation and multicultural ministries.
