Jahzeel Garcia-Figueroa is our Student Ministry Assistant. Jahzeel has heard the Lord call her in this direction and she has loved being a part of the youth program. As she grew up in this church, she was very active in youth. She attended youth group consistently from 7th -12th grade. During those years she was able to see the constant flux of both students attending and youth pastors come through. So, the Lord has set a fire of passion for youth. She can’t wait to make and have fun helping generate memories for the youth of our Church.

Aside from youth, Jahzeel also helps lead worship on Sunday mornings and assists with Spanish translation.

Jahzeel moved to Yakima in October of 2010 at the age of 9 and with her family began to attend Cristo Vive in November of that same year, while the church was still First Pres. She lives with her mom Edith Figueroa and her 4 younger siblings. She loves listening and playing music, swimming, reading, and hanging out with her family by either completing puzzles or watching movies.
