LBC Echo Fall 2022 - 25

" Pastor Torres' initial approach will be listening and learning
the LBC | Capital community at all locations, " President
Thomas L. Kiedis shared with faculty and staff this spring.
" I have asked him to focus particularly on diversity and
belonging, utilizing a discipleship perspective 'alongside'
of students/faculty/staff and teaching on key terms from a
biblical perspective. The Pastor to the College functions as
a 'prophet' to speak truth to LBC | Capital, a 'priest' to care
and intercede and, in a kingdom fashion, to lead the effort
defending those who might easily be neglected. "
Born in Manhattan, Torres is a third-generation pastor from
south Florida with 20 years of experience leading and
growing church initiatives. He was the Kingdom Platform
Pastor at Spanish River Church in Boca Raton, Fla., and prior
to that, the executive pastor of Christ Covenant Church in
Southwest Ranches, Fla.
" I am excited to join the LBC | Capital team as we pursue
living in line with the truth of the gospel, " Torres said. " I look
to continue LBC | Capital's long legacy of preparing people
to live in their calling and to strengthen the bonds of unity.
Students, I am praying for you in three areas as you pursue
your education. First, I'm praying for clarity, that you will
have a clear understanding what God wants you to do. I'm
praying for boldness, that you will be brave in overcoming
any obstacles that may hinder you from accomplishing
your goal. Finally, I am praying for your joy, that you will
experience the abundant life that Jesus promised by
following Him. "
Torres holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a
Master of Divinity degree from Knox Theological Seminary
and Lamp Theological Seminary. In Florida, he served on
the executive board of the Haiti Hope Alliance, providing
leadership development, orphan care and church planting.
Torres has also developed initiatives in human trafficking
prevention. In addition, he has been recognized by the
Florida Governor's office for his work in foster care and
community development.
Timothy and his wife, Tiona, are the parents of Elijah, Asher
and Naomi ('26), a freshman Communication major at LBC.
