connect with us
There are many ways to get involved and connect at Woodmont Hills. Each week there are worship gatherings, Sunday morning classes, and opportunities to serve together. Our hope is that you will find at least one place to connect outside of our Sunday worship gatherings. We want to build community and know each other better in 2025!

India - Tamar Ministry
This Jesus-modeled ministry was birthed in Mumbai, India, in 2007 with the mission of leading women out of the demeaning and destructive profession of prostitution, in addition to rescuing girls who have been driven into sex trafficking. Spiritual mentoring is provided for the women who are part of Tamar, along with providing basic initial needs, medical care, and training for job opportunities for their future. When one of the Tamar leaders in Mumbai had to escape to Kolkata (Calcutta) in 2018, she took with her a great passion for the Lord and a desire to rescue sex workers there. The Tamar Kolkata ministry has been very successful in its brief life, with many baptisms.
El Salvador
BOANERGES FLORES
Boanerges is the lead minister overseeing all work of the Santiago de Maria church in the mountainous eastern area of the country. A focus on the youth often tempted by gang involvement has been an important mission of this church, and a youth minister was hired in 2017 to reach out and bring more teenagers into the church. Scholarships for needy children are also provided by Woodmont Hills to help with fees, school supplies and uniforms that are required for school enrollment but not affordable by most families.
EFRAIN GUTIERREZ
A Baxter Institute graduate, Efrain focuses his work in San Miguel, a city of over 500,000. Efrain is highly respected in the community and is a mentor and example to many local preachers, while he leads the very active San Nicholas congregation. With a long-time student education program funded by Woodmont Hills, a strong next generation of Christians is being raised in El Salvador, and some of the young men are already taking preaching roles in various churches in the area.
EDER VASQUEZ
Eder joined our ministry work in El Salvador in late 2016 and planted the first church of Christ in El Rebalse, a heavily gang-controlled area of San Miguel. Eder’s gift is discipleship, and his focus is on teaching and equipping young adults in leadership and guiding others toward righteous living as followers of Jesus. The outreach of Eder and his wife has blessed and encouraged the very poor and those seeking hope in the community.
Guatemala - DR. WALTER SIERRA
Dr. Sierra is a Guatemalan medical doctor supported by Woodmont Hills through Health Talents International. Serving as medical director of Clinica Ezell, he also operates mobile clinics throughout the surrounding rural area treating the Mayan Indian population, most of whom live in abject poverty. His spiritual significance is realized in the number of patients who desire his prayer over their lives. North American surgeons volunteer their time to perform surgery, and local Christians do follow-up while sharing the love of Christ with patients.

Nicaragua - VALENTIN FLORES
Valentin is the minister of the El Viejo church in one of the poorest areas in northwest Nicaragua. He also works with the Las Brisas and Leon congregations which oversee agricultural and pig co-ops that have helped many families become self-sufficient. Valentin manages a student education program funded by Woodmont Hills that enables 50 children to attend school each year who would otherwise be unable to get a formal education. The El Viejo church has continued to grow during the two years of political unrest in Nicaragua.
Pakistan - ASHER KALEEM
Asher Kaleem is our new missions partner in Pakistan and follows in the footsteps of our late, long-time missionary Eric Masih who passed away in April 2021. Asher was mentored by Brother Eric for 16 years and is a familiar face to the Christian community in that country. Asher provides teaching and spiritual encouragement to numerous congregations in the Lahore area of his native country, including online worship and classes since the start of the pandemic. He is presently involved in an effort to help 33 refugee families resettle after their recent flight to Pakistan.
