Fidel Soto

Fidel Soto was born into a migrant family in central California. After many years of migrating, the family settled in the Boise, Idaho area where Fidel attended Gem State Adventist Academy. Fidel's personal experience with Jesus Christ began when he was 12 years of age, and at 16 years of age he gave life to God through baptism.

After graduating from High School, Jesus Christ called Fidel to the pastoral ministry. Fidel finished his Theology degree in 1996 from La Universidad de Montemorelos, Mexico, and the next year he married, the love of his life, Cara Wageman. They went on to attend Andrews University where Fidel became the father of two girls and completed the M.Div and later the D.Min program.

Fidel has served in the Florida Conference for the last 18 years in various churches. He now serves as a pastor at the Miami Springs Seventh-day Adventist Church.

His passions are living for Jesus Christ, serving people, teaching and outdoor activities like mountain biking, backpacking, photography and drone flying.
