Pastor
Flores has been involved in ministry since he was a child. Beginning at the age
of 5 he aspired to be a minister. He was involved in his youth choir, weekly
bible studies and served as an altar boy in the Catholic Church till the age of
16.
His love for
the church was apparent in that all of his extracurricular
activities had to do with planning and serving on youth
retreats, music events,
outreaches and visiting nursing homes. He dreamed that one day he
could follow
in the footsteps of his Parish priest.
He taught private guitar lessons in Junior High all the
way through college. While in college he received the Lord Jesus Christ as his
personal Savior. The word of God changed his life so
dramatically, that he began
to research all that he had been taught in the Catholic Church, using the Bible
as his primary tool for research. He began to examine the works of
the early
church Father’s, the
Vatican Council’s and early church
synod’s. Only to find
that the Bible is the only true source for understanding and salvation
through a
knowledge of Jesus Christ.
He believes in a
sola scriptura interpretation
of Scripture and began to compile information for a Bible class that would help
people see the simplicity of the truth as revealed in scripture.
While at the
University of Houston, he began to compare British Literature with the King
James Bible. With a fascination for the early English. He began to compile
biblical definitions for the words used in the bible with the aid of the
Early
English Oxford Dictionary. Clearly the Holy Spirit began to work in His research
as he began to work on his new curriculum. In 1993 he taught his first Steps in
Biblical Confidence class. Students were comprised of ministers, business men
and women, even skeptics and unbelievers. Since 1993, the class has helped
countless individuals to develop a strong sense of security and confidence in
the handling of scriptures.
He established
Living Word of God Ministries, in May of
1993 as a Para-church ministry designed to give the
questioning Christian answers to some of the most controversial scriptures
which most denominations are divided over.
By September of the same year Pastor Dave was officially ordained by Rev.
Phillip Brooks, an Assembly of God minister. For the following 10 years, Pastor
Dave pastor-ed Living Word in the Houston Heights.
After hundreds of hours of preaching and teaching,
Pastor Dave decided to go to the
College of Biblical Studies. He earned a
Bachelors of theology Degree with an emphasis on Christian Leadership (BSCL) in
2003 . He is a highly regarded student and teacher.
In 2004 he was asked to become the permanent pastor of
Trinity Baptist Church which is now Living Word of God Church. He also directs
the Music Conservatory of Pasadena. And continues to influence people to move
forward in ministry and to become all that they can be for the kingdom of God.
Pastor Dave’s vision of Living Word of God Church is that it will be known as a
teaching platform for the clear
exegetical teachings of God’s rightly divided
word. And that it would be known as a house of Praise and Worship due to his
excellent musical background. He plans on establishing Living Word of God
Biblical Institute on the campus.
Both Pastor Dave Flores and His wife Dee are
spirit-filled Christians and believe in miracle signs and wonders following
those that believe on the name of Jesus Christ!

Pastor
Dave Flores is the founder and president of Living Word of God
Ministries. Established in 1993, the ministry's vision is
to declare, teach and instruct the accuracy of scripture to a
generation of biblically illiterate and wayward Christians.
Pastor Flores believes
that the church has lost it's dynamics and power in our day and
time. He believes that the modern church has compromised by
becoming a socially, politically correct, seeker sensitive, need
based organization, rather than a strong and influential tower that
can confront the evil of our day. Pastor Flores has been in
ministry for over 25 years. He is an excellent teacher and
preacher of God's word. His teachings and sermons are based on
over 25 years of in-depth biblical research and teaching. He
is also a music major and directs the music conservatory in the
church as well as facilitates the Praise and Worship for the church.
He is a graduate of the College of Biblical Studies which is an
extension of the Dallas Seminary.
