Shepherds serving our church family

Senior Leadership

Our pastoral team is dedicated to serving, teaching, and shepherding our congregation

John Anderson

Lead Pastor

Pastor John has been serving New Iberia Church of Christ since 2015. He brings over 20 years of ministry experience and a deep passion for biblical teaching and community outreach.

He holds a Master of Divinity from Harding School of Theology and has spent his ministry focused on helping people discover God's purpose for their lives through authentic relationships and biblical truth.

John is married to Sarah, and they have three children. When he's not serving the church, you can find him enjoying Louisiana's beautiful outdoors, reading theology, or spending quality time with his family.

His heart for ministry is evident in his approachable teaching style and his genuine care for each member of the congregation.

Michael Chen

Associate Pastor

Michael joined our leadership team in 2018, bringing a heart for discipleship and small group ministry. He oversees our adult education programs and leads our care ministry team.

With a background in counseling and a Master's degree in Biblical Studies, Michael has a unique ability to help people apply Scripture to everyday life challenges.

He and his wife Emily have been married for 12 years and have two young daughters. Michael is passionate about creating spaces where people can grow in their faith through authentic community.

His approachable nature and wisdom make him a trusted counselor and friend to many in our congregation.

David Martinez

Worship Pastor

David has led our worship ministry since 2019, bringing creativity and spiritual depth to our Sunday gatherings. His passion is helping people encounter God through meaningful worship experiences.

With over 15 years of music ministry experience and formal training in worship arts, David has developed a worship style that honors our a cappella tradition while remaining fresh and engaging.

He and his wife Rachel are parents to a son and daughter. David also serves as a mentor to young musicians and leads our quarterly worship workshops.

His heart for worship extends beyond Sunday mornings as he constantly seeks ways to cultivate a culture of worship throughout our church community.
