Carlos Arellano Transitions to Santa Fe

Last fall, the Texico Conference approved the transfer of Carlos Arellano to a new church district. Arellano has made significant contributions to the conference’s work as a member of the executive committee, while also serving as the pastor of the Amarillo Spanish, Tucumcari Spanish and Dumas Spanish Seventh-day Adventist churches. His leadership in these congregations has been marked by a commitment to fostering both community and spiritual growth.

Arellano will lead the Santa Fe Marcy Park Spanish, Santa Fe Airport and Las Vegas Bilingual Seventh-day Adventist churches. His ministry has touched many lives, and his departure will be felt by the Amarillo area congregations. However, the Texico Conference is excited about the new opportunities awaiting him in Santa Fe. 

A graduate of Southwestern Adventist University and the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University, Arellano brings a strong educational foundation to his ministry. He is happily married to Ana Isabel Arellano, and together they have two daughters and a son.

Grateful for the opportunity to serve, Arellano commented, “The most rewarding part of ministry is witnessing God’s work in the lives of others. I look forward to serving in this wonderful new district. I have a special passion for youth ministry and will continue working to see God make a meaningful impact on young people’s lives.”

As Arellano begins this new chapter, the Texico Conference is confident that his leadership will bring spiritual growth to the Santa Fe and Las Vegas church communities. May God bless him and continue to guide him as he serves with dedication, bringing hope to all those he ministers to.
