Pastors Fernando & Belinda Calaguas
Hello, we are the lead pastors of Nations for Christ Church, Fernando and Belinda Calaguas. We both originated from the Philippines. My wife’s family first migrated to Jacksonville, Florida, and we got married in 1999. In the same year, we relocated to Utah with the intention of starting a church.The church initially served the Filipino-American community but later became more diverse, prompting us to rename it Nations for Christ. The church has been serving the Utah community for 25 years.
Pastors Josh & Anna Curtis
Josh Curtis,
I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior at the age of five. Over time, I have had some rough patches, but God’s grace has sustained me through it all. Graduated from Capitol Bible College, California, in 2000, after graduation, I transitioned right into ministry and became a youth pastor, a position I served for fifteen years in different churches in the states of California, Texas, and Utah. In 2009, I married my wife Ana, and we have worked together in the ministry ever since.We started attending Nations for Christ in 2019, and now I am working with the young adults, helping with the construction of the new sanctuary and occasionally preaching from the pulpit. My biggest passion is to see young people get on fire for Jesus and go on mission trips.
Ana Curtis
I grew up in a non-Christian family, but a Christian church was across the street from my house. God used the church and his people to show me his love and purpose for my life. At the age of nine, I received my first bible. I remember loving reading the bible so much, love that the Lord used to ignite a passion in me for his word, his people, and ministry. Throughout the years, I have served in many positions, from Sunday school teacher, my favorite! And pastoral and leadership roles. In 2019, we as a family joined the ministry of Nations Christ. Today, I serve in the nursery and support the Spanish-speaking members with the Spanish translation during Sunday service. My biggest passion is evangelism, I love to see people come to Christ and experience the power, transformation, and love of Jesus.

ASSOCIATE PASTOR
YOUTH LEADER
Serving the Lord is part of my life. As an associate pastor, I assist the head pastor by being part of the leadership team that keeps the church moving. I help in the teaching and preaching of the Word during church services. My passion for the young generation also keeps me on track when it comes to ministry. I am one of the youth leaders who guide and mentor the young people at N4C.
Isaiah 40:31 has always been one of my anchor verses:
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; the will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Henric & Ivy Ruelan
Our heart is to lead others into the presence of God through praise and worship, and to help create a space where people can encounter Him deeply—whether through music, media, or the creative arts. Worship is more than a moment—it’s a way of life. We’re excited for all that God is doing and grateful to be part of what’s ahead. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” — Psalm 150:6 We believe the best is yet to come, and we’re honored to walk this journey of faith, worship, and purpose together with you.
