Aminda Martinez

Aminda graduated college with a Bachelor of Arts and Science with concentration in Biology- Pre-Med in Louisiana in 2004. Her senior year in college, she began working at Best Buy and worked her way up from a cashier to a general manager. When her daughter was born in 2008, she decided to move back to Brownsville to be closer to family.

After being back in Brownsville for four years, she continued to feel there was something big missing in her life. Even after her mother kept suggesting to attend any church, Aminda continually refused, as she was an atheist.

In March 2013, her cousin had surgery and Aminda knew that her cousin would attend BCF Church and would probably be sad that she couldn’t attend, so, Aminda attended BCF to take notes for her cousin. The music was very different than she had ever heard at a church before. When the pastor preached (Pastor Kenny), Aminda felt that he was talking right to her. How would this man know all these things about her? She didn’t realize it then that God had been pursuing her all along. GOD was what was missing in her life and her heart! A few weeks later, on Good Friday, March 29, 2013, Aminda gave her life to Christ and was baptized on May 24, 2013 at Celebrate Recovery.

Aminda began serving in hospitality making coffee at Celebrate Recovery. While attending Celebrate Recovery, she also joined a 12 step and towards the end of it, she learned of a Celebrate Recovery program for kids called Celebration Place. She asked if she could bring this program back to BCF and began leading CP. She led CP for an amazing six years. She also led a few 12 step women’s groups throughout the years. Her heart is really replenished leading women’s small groups.

Aminda began working for BCF Church in 2017 as a Children’s Coordinator and assistant to the Children’s Pastor and Student Pastor. In 2019, she transitioned over to Production and Graphic Design. She has learned and grown so much in this new role over these past years. She really loves leading her amazing AV ministry team. Teaching and growing her team is what brings extra joy in her life.

Aminda really enjoys spending time with her beautiful daughter and wonderful parents. She loves to travel when possible, enjoys watching movies and shows (either on screen or live), and really enjoys baking and cooking. Aminda loves spending time at the beach and reading. She really loves to be with her friends and enjoy life with them.
