Stephen Galarza, Director

Stephen Galarza has been involved with the BSM since 2009 when he was a student at University of Texas Pan-American in Edinburg, Tx. He has a passion for college students because he knows this is a pivotal time as students begin to discover who they are on their own - apart from their parents' beliefs and values. Students make decisions in college that affect their entire lives. College is a training ground for tomorrow's leaders of our nation, our world, and the Church. Stephen is married to Janet, and they are expecting a little Galarza in the month of October.

Cyndi Jaquez, office manager

Cyndi has been involved with the BSM since February 2016 and has loved every minute of it. Cyndi and her husband Steve are originally from Corpus Christi but call DFW their second home since they lived there for 33 years serving the Lord at Primera Iglesia Bautista Arlington and United in Christ-Dallas. While residing there she also worked for GuideStone Financial Resources. In 2015 Segunda Iglesia Bautista in Corpus Christi called Steve to be their full-time pastor, which gave them the opportunity to come back home. Cyndi and her husband are loyal Texas Ranger fans (whether in first place or last) and maintained a tradition of attending the TX Ranger’s Opening Days for 32 years in a row. Their new tradition is attending Corpus Christi Hooks Opening Days.
