“God used Pastor Fidel and his wife Theresa to help plant Calvary Chapel Ft Lauderdale more than 35 years ago — and they have given their lives fully to God's work ever since.

They both embody faithfulness, perseverance, and love and are both gifted communicators of God's word. Churches and church staff will be blessed by their ministry as they speak on marriage, redemption, soul care, and the gospel.

As spiritual parents, they have much to teach the next generation as they draw from their many years of ministry together. ”

“When I hear the name Fidel Gomez, I immediately think of a God-fearing man, husband, father, and deep teacher of the Word of God who continues to have a tremendous impact on my life. God used him mightily to lead me back to Christ and become the man of God that I am today.

He guided me towards discovering my true purpose in Christ. Through his wisdom, guidance, and unwavering faith, he taught me by example, what it is to live as a true Man and Son of God. God uses him to lead people into seeking a deeper relationship with Christ. Prepare to be uplifted, challenged, and forever changed by the remarkable wisdom and truth that pours out of this man that God has called to set the captives free.”

“I met Pastor Fidel 25 Years ago at his church in Fort Lauderdale. He is not just an anointed Preacher and great church planter. He has a very deep understanding of God’s Word the Bible and lots of Wisdom. When you combine that with his experience and wonderful sense of humor, you have a radiant and impactful personality called Fidel Gomez.

Pastor Fidel has been a faithful follower of Christ and a very dear friend to me and my family.”

“My wife Susan and I were blessed to meet Pastor Fidel Gomez and his lovely wife Theresa several years ago in Fort Lauderdale when I was in the tender years of planting a new church ministry in Georgia. That first meeting became the catalyst to what would be a sweet friendship and mentorship to me as a fellow pastor and brother in Christ.

Pastor Fidel and Theresa ooze with the love of Christ. Pastor Fidel is humble, yet bold with a passion to share the Word of God and its Truth. His life ministry experiences were of great help and encouragement to me. Undoubtedly, Pastor Fidel has a gift to be “real” in a church culture that is lacking honesty, transparency, courage, boldness, and compassion. Pastor Fidel is an encourager to pastors and church leaders to “stay the course” and not get bogged down in the weeds of ministry. Our congregation has also been blessed to experience the solid preaching from Pastor Fidel.

As pastors, we must be cautious in our recommendation of those who step into that sacred place at the pulpit; without hesitation I can recommend to you Pastor Fidel. Whether to preach, teach, or just to consult with as a fellow pastor, you will be blessed, encouraged, and biblically enlightened from the years of ministry experience of Pastor Fidel. To God Be the Glory!”

“It has been such a pleasure to have Fidel speak at our church over the years. Fidel brings such incredible wisdom and humor to every one of his messages. Journey church always looks forward to have him teach. I strongly encourage you to bring him to teach and share all the years of wisdom that he brings.”

“While so much has changed, God’s way of building His church, making disciples of Jesus Christ and developing biblically qualified leaders transcends from generation to generation. Encouraging, humble, kind, wise and intentional. Fidel is a friend and an experienced pastor who relationally invests in and personally encourages the next generation of pastors and their churches to continue the work God has given them to do. May the Lord give the current generation of church leaders the willingness to hear, listen and learn from the wisdom of those who have succeeded before us!”

“I have known Fidel for 10 years now, and he is among the wisest, most solid and effective Pastor/teachers I know!

Fidel is a highly effective church planter, superb teacher, strong encourager and great blessing to have in my life and I am sure as the Lord leads, in your life as well.

Fidel will bring humor, sound doctrine and a lively hope to all he connects with! It is with the highest praise that I commend Fidel to you!”

“I have known Fidel for many years and I have always found him to be a solid brother and faithful friend. All the years I have known him he has been a faithful minister committed to Calvary Chapel. Fidel is a fine bible teacher and has always been willing to take my place in the pulpit at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island when I have invited him to do so.

As we all know the ministry is not without challenges and Fidel has had his share. Through them all he has stood strong and remained faithful to his call. Fidel would be an asset to any fellowship and I thoroughly recommend him to the churches he may be called to assist. We pray that the Lord will continue to use our brother Fidel as he steps out into his future ministry. He is always welcome at Merritt Island.”

“We live in a time when God is using seasoned and experienced men to bring comfort and encouragement to His Church. The Church needs it. Pastor Fidel is one of those men. God brought Pastor Fidel into my life 15 years ago, and his kindness along with his servant's heart helped forge a friendship and ministry partnership that continues to this day. He's the type of man the Lord uses to build strong relationships so God's Word can be imparted and change lives! Pastor Fidel is the real deal. Whether you have him out to encourage your ministry teams, teach the word to your congregation, or share at a conference, your fellowship will be encouraged, strengthened, and perhaps even shed a few tears. God's anointing is upon Pastor Fidel and Theresa; you will be blessed to have them out.”

“It has been my good fortune to not only know Fidel Gomez as a good friend but also, a co-laborer in the ministry of Jesus Christ. He has spoken many times here at Coastline Calvary Chapel Gulf Breeze and has always been faithful to present the scripture in a balanced and applicable manner. He has a great sense of timing and humor and our people always look forward to his ministry. I would like to recommend him to you if you have a need of a guest speaker, men's retreat, or a couples ministry time with him and His wife Theresa.”

“Fidel Gomez, with those rare and precious roots which go back to the early days of the Calvary Movement, has a seasoned and quite relevant approach to God’s Word. With a special blend of both Biblical insight and a fair bit of good humor, Fidel has been a wonderful blessing to so many throughout the decades. I hope you and your fellowship have the privilege to host him at a special event at your fellowship.”

“I have known Fidel, his wife Theresa, and his family for over 40 years. Fidel has spoken at my church a number of times, from Sunday Services to he and his wife ministering to our couples at a couples retreat. He is an incredibly gifted bible teacher, accurately handling the Word of God, having great communication skills, and with great conviction. He keeps it interesting, as his audience stays engaged.

I highly recommend Fidel and know that you, your congregation, and all who attend will not only be blessed but spiritually challeneged.”

“I have known Pastor Fidel for over 10 years. His brother is an elder at our church which launched him to plant the church in Ft. Lauderdale. He has spoken at our Sunday services, taught leadership and was the featured speaker for our 2023 Men’s conference.

He has been used mightily by the Lord and remains a humble brother, always making sure he shares under the authority of the Pastor. He is a seasoned communicator that speaks with humor, creativity, and Biblical accuracy. Our people (me included) are build-up in the faith and challenged to follow Jesus with our whole heart when he ministers.

He is a faithful minister, I highly recommend him! “
