our pastor

Meet Pastor Cornelius Winchester and his wife Cynthia of Believe Church in Corpus Christi!
Pastor Neil is a native to Corpus Christi. He graduated from Richard King High School where he also coached for several years after completing a football career and college degree at Texas A&M Kingsville. Pastor Neil received his calling to preach the word of God while still a college student. He gave his first sermon to an FCA huddle and never looked back. The same fire God placed in him then still exists today; to boldly proclaim the entirty of God's word that all manking shall be set free from the bondage of sin.
​
Both Pastor Neil and Cynthia served as youth pastors before beginning their ministry in their living room. Just a small group of believers has grown from a school, a store front, to our current building at 4420 S. Staples. God is not done yet and they continue to work to grow the ministry in order to spread the gospel.
Pastor Neil and his wife have been married for 30 years and together have three beautiful children.
