Our History
Rev. Manuel C. Ortiz & Belen G. Ortiz
The founding Pastor was the late Dr. Manuel C. Ortiz and his loving wife, Belen, who both faithfully worked together for 33 years in this ministry. Their son, Dr. Manuel G. Ortiz, Jr. was called as pastor on May 27, 1976 after the death of his father.

The church’s humble beginnings began and founded in February 28, 1943, the small wood frame church was originally in the Westside of town on West Durango and San Jacinto Streets in San Antonio, Tx. Dr. Manuel C. Ortiz was the founding pastor and his loving wife Belen of this First Mexican Fundamental Baptist church and actively grew from 5 to 500 members in the west side during his 33 years in the ministry. In 1973, God led the church to be relocate to it’s present location 455 Avant Ave., on the Southeast side of town. The church later was sold, and Sidney Lanier High School was expanded on site. Their son, Dr. Manuel G. Ortiz, was called as pastor when his father past away in May of 1976. The father and son have been the church’s only pastors in its history. For the past 44 years, God has provided faithful servants, Pastor Ortiz and wife Mrs. Diamantina to continue this work of love together along with its congregation. The church is a beacon to its community. Some of the various church ministries have included a supporting world-wide missions, community youth services, and “good news” gospel programs. The church has also played a vital role in the organization of many missions and hispanic fundamental baptist churches in the United States and Mexico and Central and South America. Many of those churches comprised the “Compañerismo Bautista” fellowship a group of Hispanic Independent Fundamental Baptist churches. that was organized by the founding Pastor in 1954. By his vision, his dream became reality through the hands of many. The church continues to preach the gospel and give all the honor an glory to Jesus Christ. Amen!

Gonzales (Texas)
Gonzales (Eng. Gonzales) is a city in the United States, located in the central part of Texas. The administrative center of the district of the same name. The population is 7237 according to the 2010 estimate.
History
Fresco Come and Take It .
Gonzales is one of the earliest Anglo-American settlements in Texas, and the first west of the Colorado River. The city was founded by entrepreneur Green DeWitt in August 1825 and became the capital of his colony. The name of the city was in honor of the governor of the state of Coahuila y Texas, Rafael Gonzales. In 1826, the original settlement was abandoned after several attacks by the Indians, and in 1827 it was rebuilt near the original site.
Gonzales is called the Lexington of Texas because it was here that the first gunfight of the Texas Revolution took place. In 1831, the Mexican government granted DeWitt’s request for a small cannon to defend against Indian attacks. At the beginning of the conflict between English settlers and Mexican authorities in 1835, a contingent of over 100 Mexican soldiers was sent from San Antonio to retrieve the cannon.
When the soldiers came to Gonzales, there were only 18 men, but they refused to return the gun, and soon people from the outskirts of the city began to join them. The Texans under John Moore took the fight. Sarah DeWitt and her daughter sewed a flag that featured the likeness of a cannon and the words “Come and take it” (Russian “Come and take it”), under which the first shots in the history of the Texas Revolution were fired on October 2, 1835. The Texans successfully repelled the Mexican troops and the battle became known as the Battle of Gonzales.
Gonzales later became the only city to send 32 men to help defend the Alamo. All 32 men from Gozasles died defending the mission. Suzanne Dickinson and a slave named Joe, William Travis, managed to escape to Gonzales, bringing news of the massacre at the Alamo. General Sam Houston was in the city to organize the Texas resistance forces. He suggested that Gonzales would be the next target of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who commanded the Mexican army, and ordered the city to be burned so that it would not fall into the hands of the enemy. The Texans, along with the remaining residents of the city, were forced to move closer to the US border.
After the Texas Revolution, the city was abandoned for some time, but in the early 1840s it was restored to its original location. By 1850, about 300 people lived in the city. By the 1860 census, the population had risen to 1,703, by the mid-1880s it had risen to 2,900, and by 1900 the population was 4,297.

During the Civil War, the men’s programs were curtailed, and the freed up resources were directed to the construction of Fort Wall. In 1857 the college was one of the first in Texas to have a Bachelor of Arts degree left to teach women. At 1891 year the college was bought by a private person and became private property.

Historic buildings and monuments
Gonzales is home to a large number of historic buildings and other monuments.
In 1910, commissioned by the state government, a stone and bronze monument was erected at the site of the Battle of Gonzales off Highway 97. The monument was made by the then leading Italian architect Pompeo Coppini.
The Gonzales County Courthouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1896 by James Riley Gordon. Neo-Romanesque Gordon designed 72 county courthouses, 18 of them in Texas.
In 2012, This Old House magazine ranked Gonzales as one of the best old home neighborhoods, noting its well-preserved downtown area, large selection of affordable homes, and improved homes in Queen Anne Baroque, Tudor Revival, Italianate and Neo-Greek styles, and low cost of living compared to large Texas cities such as San Antonio, Austin, and Houston.
The oldest surviving buildings in Gonzales were built in the mid-19th century, but most of the historic buildings in the city were built in the late Victorian era, between 1880 and 1915. Most often, the buildings of that century were built in the Baroque style of the times of Queen Anne, and houses in the colonial revival and neoclassical styles are also not uncommon. Most of the historic buildings were commissioned by Gonzales’ most important people and their families.

Footage from the scene in the US state of Texas, near the city of San Antonio. Dozens of people were injured.
According to preliminary data, the attacker – a young white man dressed all in black – in a bulletproof vest and with an assault rifle at 11.30 local time entered the church building in the town of Sutherland Springs (population about 400 people) and opened fire.
Sunday service was going on in the church at that time. According to police, among the dead – people aged 5 to 72 years.
Although the name of the armed man is not officially reported, many American media write that the attacker is Devin Patrick Kelly, who was previously discharged from the US Air Force in disgrace.

According to the American media, citing Pentagon spokesman Ann Stefanek, Kelly joined the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in 2010, but in 2012 the tribunal filed a case against him for beating his wife and child and later sentenced to 12 months in prison. In 2014, Kelly was demoted and discharged from the army.
Federal law prohibits the sale of guns to individuals dishonorably discharged from the military, but the rifle, a police source told CNN, Kelly bought in San Antonio as early as 2016, giving the wrong address and lying when answering the question of a criminal record.
The attacker’s identity has not yet been officially confirmed.

What was it?0162 “We heard semi-automatic gunfire. We were about 50 yards (less than 50 meters) from this church,” said one of the witnesses to the incident, Kerry Matula. “We have a very small community here, everyone is trying to understand what is happening.”
According to local residents, usually about 50 parishioners come to this church for Sunday service, including children.
The pastor of the church where the shooting took place, Frank Pomeroy, said his own 14-year-old daughter, Annabelle, was killed in the attack. Frank himself and his wife were out of town at the time.
At least 10 injured, including children, have been sent to the nearest San Antonio hospital. Several helicopters were used to evacuate the wounded.
“We were in the middle of a service when we got a call from friends saying there was a shooting going on at Sutherland Springs Baptist Church,” said the pastor of a nearby church in River Oak. and we did what we were supposed to do – began to pray for people, because the best thing in such situations is not to get in the way.”

Local police and FBI at the crime scene
Sutherland Springs is a small town with only a few hundred people. It is located 50 km southeast of San Antonio.
FBI agents are on the scene, but the attacker’s motives have not yet been determined.
The FBI also said that although only one shooter is known, they are looking into other leads.
“We are praying for all those affected by this evil act. Thank you to the police for responding so quickly,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said.
US President Donald Trump, who is on a tour of Asia, tweeted: “May God help the people in Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and law enforcement are at the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan.”
“All Texans are in their thoughts and prayers right now, along with the residents of Sutherland Springs, where this tragic news came from,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
“The area around the church has been cordoned off and locked down. Friends and relatives of [the victims] are waiting and hoping to hear that their loved ones are all right,” writes journalist Max Massey, who is on site.
The Texas attack comes just a month after an attacker opened fire on an open-air concert attendee in Las Vegas. The attack, which killed 58 people and injured hundreds, was the deadliest mass crime in recent US history.
