About Pastor Kristi
Pastor Kristi Gonzales is a Bible teacher and speaker with nearly a decade of full-time ministry experience. Her calling was shaped early by a defining encounter with God at the age of fifteen—marking the beginning of a lifelong commitment to obedience, healing, and service.
Over the years, Pastor Kristi has ministered in diverse communities, preaching and teaching the gospel, equipping believers, and walking alongside individuals seeking restoration from past and present pain. Her message centers on Christ-centered identity, spiritual maturity, and courageous obedience to God’s voice.
She has served in full-time ministry for nine years, including eight years as Lead Pastor of Freedom Center Church. Her leadership is marked by theological depth, pastoral care, and a strong emphasis on personal transformation through the power of the Holy Spirit.
In September 2023, Pastor Kristi’s husband of nineteen years passed away after a four-year battle with cancer. This season of personal loss has further refined her compassion, resilience, and calling to minister with authenticity and hope.
Pastor Kristi is a mother of five children—Izziah, Micah, Mariah, Zachariah, and Hezekiah—and continues to pursue her calling with a deep commitment to faith, legacy, and integrity.
Pastor Kristi is currently based in the Sacramento, California area and is available for regional, national, and international ministry assignments.
Pastor Kristi's Talks
God is a Personal God
Sometimes the situations around us are so severe, that we look at the circumstance and lose focus of God. This talk will help everyone who hears it to let go of the lies that they aren't good enough, to let go of the pain of rejection and to let go of the weight of this world so that they can focus on Jesus.
Praying Passionate Prayers
This talk teaches how to use the emotion of anger to catapult passionate prayers and worship that lead to transformation from the inside out.
Worship While You Work
Is work a curse? God has a plan and a purpose for us and He wants us to enjoy our work. This talk awakens people to the passion inside of them to do what God has designed them to do.
