About
VISION
Our vision is to become a community of disciples who live and love like Jesus in the everyday rhythms of life.
MISSION
We exist to love God, love people, and make disciples of Jesus.
Our Story
In November 2023, a small group of families began gathering in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, with a shared desire: an English-speaking, Bible-teaching church rooted in Christian fellowship. We started meeting weekly while carefully crafting a belief statement that would anchor who we are. Even before musicians or a pastor on site, people kept coming, hungry for God’s Word and real community. Potlucks filled the tables, baptisms marked new life in Christ, and by our second Sunday, we launched kids ministry because of the growing number of families. From that first gathering, we have faithfully met every single week, supported by a committed and growing church family.
In the summer of 2024, after finalizing our belief statement, we commissioned a search team and began praying for God’s direction. March 2025 became a month of focused prayer and fasting, gathering daily at 4:11PM as a reminder of Ephesians 4:11 and Christ’s gift of shepherds to His church. What began as a handful of families has become a vibrant congregation and the story is still being written.
You are part of the rest of it.
Leadership
Johnny Armijo
Lead Pastor
Meet Pastor Johnny — the heart behind Northwest Bible Church in Aguadilla. Originally from Chile, Johnny is passionate about helping people encounter Jesus through clear, engaging, and Bible-centered teaching that speaks to real life. He believes the Scriptures aren't just meant to be understood, but lived — shaping how we love God, love people, and follow Christ in the everyday rhythms of life.
Johnny is married to Ashley, and together they have a son, Theo, who keeps life fun and full. When he's not preaching or pouring into his family, you'll probably find him running or doing CrossFit.
His heart is simple: to see ordinary people become faithful disciples of Jesus — growing in truth, walking in grace, and making a difference right where they are.

Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the foundation for everything we do. These core convictions shape how we worship, how we live, and how we engage the world around us. From the nature of God to the hope of eternity, our beliefs are rooted in Scripture and centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ.
-
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and therefore the final and sufficient rule of faith and practice. We teach a literal (normal), grammatical-historical interpretation of Scripture, and we submit our lives to what God has spoken in His Word. (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21)
-
We believe there is one living and true God, infinite and perfect in all His attributes, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each equally deserving worship and obedience. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
-
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a voluntary, substitutionary sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, and now serves as our Advocate and High Priest. (John 1:1,14; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Hebrews 4:14–16)
-
We believe the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, coequal with the Father and the Son. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates sinners, indwells and seals believers, and empowers them for holy living and service. Every believer is called to be filled with (controlled by) the Spirit. (John 16:8–14; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 1:13–14; Ephesians 5:18)
-
We believe God created mankind male and female in His image. In Adam’s sin, humanity fell—incurring spiritual and physical death—and all people inherit a sinful nature, separated from God and unable to choose what is acceptable to Him apart from divine grace. (Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12)
-
We believe salvation is wholly of God by grace, based on the redemption of Jesus Christ and the merit of His shed blood—not by human merit or works. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, and there is no other way. (John 1:12; Ephesians 2:8–10; 1 Peter 1:18–19)
-
We believe every believer is called to submit to God, pursue holiness, and live in grateful obedience to His Word. We teach that sanctification is both a position in Christ and a progressive work of the Holy Spirit, as believers grow to become more like Jesus. We also believe all who are truly redeemed are kept by God’s power and secure in Christ forever. (James 4:7; John 10:27–30; 2 Corinthians 3:18)
-
We believe the universal church consists of all who are born again by the Holy Spirit, united as one body with Christ as the Head. We believe believers should gather as a local church for worship, teaching, fellowship, discipleship, and mission. We also teach that the local church is led by biblically qualified Elders, and served by Deacons and Deaconesses. (1 Corinthians 12:12–13; Ephesians 4:11–16; Hebrews 10:25)
-
We believe Jesus gave two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism by immersion is the outward testimony of a believer’s union with Christ in His death and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper is the commemoration and proclamation of Christ’s death until He comes, and our table is open to all self-examined believers in Christ. These ordinances are symbols of salvation, not a cause of salvation. (Acts 2:38–42; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–28)
