| Dan Trevino |
The Reverend Doctor Dan Trevino started
serving Baptist Temple as Associate Pastor earlier this week. Trevino
recently left his position at Harlandale Baptist Church after 11
years of faithful service.
A native of San Antonio, Trevino earned
a BS from Howard Payne University and an MSW from Our Lady of the
Lake University. Furthermore, he earned both a Master's and a Doctor
of Theology from Andersonville Theological Seminary.
Trevino worked for Baptist Child and
Family Services for many years in a variety of progressive roles
working his way up from house parent to campus administrator and
serving as interim president.
God has used his combined experience
and training in both the pastoral and social service worlds to lead
churches in serving their surrounding communities. His expertise has
been much sought after by Texas Baptists where Trevino serves on the
Texas Christian Life Commission Board of Consultants. He also served
on the boards of the Christian Women's/Christian Men's Job Corps and
Zephyr Baptist Encampment.
At Baptist Temple, Trevino's primary
role will be to administer our food programs and hunger ministries,
especially our relationship with the San Antonio Food Bank. Trevino
will continue and expand the work started by Joe Guinn in developing
our church as a Community Partner site. This will enable us to
directly enroll members of our community in government programs for
which they qualify. Our goal is to be a place where we can help
people with both their physical and spiritual needs.
Trevino will lead a multifaceted
approach to the issues of nutrition and food insecurity that include
a food pantry, emergency food supply, weekend food packs for children
at risk and free or reduced breakfast and lunch for children
throughout the year. Last year, in partnership with the San Antonio
Food Bank, we distributed over 17,000 lbs. of groceries per month to
our neighbors. Our participation in summer feeding program, which
began in 2009, will expand to multiple sites this year.
Baptist Temple is part of a family of
urban churches and non-profits that share a campus to show God's love
to our community in practical ways.
