Fairvew campus of City Church to welcome new minister Sunday
Angel Ayala never intended to become a minister. If you had told me 30 years ago that this was my future, I would have fainted, he said with a laugh.
But on Sunday, May 23, the 48-year-old Ayala will officially become the senior minister at the Fairview campus of City Church.
Located in west Gastonia, Fairview sits squarely in the middle of a very diverse neighborhood - a neighborhood which encompasses Whites, Blacks, and Latinos.
Ayala is a native of El Salvador who immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of 15.
