What We Believe

We are a part of the Assemblies of God, the world's largest Pentecostal denomination with some 65 million members and adherents. The Assemblies of God is committed to a four-fold mission: evangelize the lost, worship God, disciple believers and show compassion.


Two years after its founding, the Assemblies of God established 16 doctrines as a standard to reach, preach and teach its people. These doctrines became our Statement of Fundamental Truths.  Four of these truths are our core beliefs: Salvation, Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing and The Second Coming of Christ.

    DR.  Arnold Zuniga

    Dr. Arnold Zuniga, Sr., grew up surrounded by music and was a musician for over 16 years. He traveled throughout the U.S. and Mexico as a singer with a premier Mariachi from Guadalajara, Mexico.  After many years on the road, there came a time when he found himself lost and without direction.  In December of 1983, he realized his marriage of five years was coming to an end.  A family friend, who was a Pastor, began to minister to him and after three months he and his wife, Tommie, surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ on March 15, 1984. That day began the complete restoration of his marriage and his family.  That day also set a path for his calling to ministry.

     

    Pastor Arnold began serving in ministry as a Youth Pastor and Associate Pastor for several years before he and his wife founded The Lord Is Peace Worship Center, aka Lord Is Peace Church, on May 8, 1994.  He is ordained by the General Council of the Assemblies of God and received his doctorate in ministry in 2007 from Minnesota Graduate School of Theology.  

     

    Pastor Arnold was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, and has been married to his high school sweetheart, since 1978.  With their three kids all grown up, they enjoy spending lots of quality time with their grandchildren.

    Ps. Steve lopez

    Born and raised in Corpus Christi, Pastor Steve and his wife Elizabeth, along with their three children, love the diversity in South Texas and come from Hispanic congregations in the Assemblies of God and Pentecostal Holiness Churches.


    Having met Pastors Zuniga in early 2017, Steve immediately sensed their love for God and His people.  This kindred spirit between he and the Pastors has brought him in line with the church and he has been with The Lord is Peace since 2017.


    Understanding God’s call on his life at an early age, Pastor Steve has heeded the call through preaching, teaching and leading God’s people in worship for over 20 yrs. He is credentialed by the General Council of the Assemblies of God.  Together he and his wife Elizabeth, a graduate of Christ Mission College in San Antonio, desire to see the world filled with God's praise.
