Cesar Buitrago
Interim Pastor
Welcome to The Gathering!
My name is Cesar Buitrago and by the grace of God I am the interim Pastor of The Gathering.
My purpose in life is to live in passionate intimacy with Jesus Christ and to lead others to do the same.
Patty and I have been married for forty-two years and have three adult children: Patricia is married to Adam Bishop and they have two daughters, Victoria and Sofia. César J is single and Abigail is married to Derek Dotinga.
Patty and I were born in El Salvador and came as missionaries to the United States. After planting several churches in San Jose, thirteen years ago we moved to the Central Valley to Pastor Patterson Christian Fellowship.
In 2018 I became a licensed Pastor with the Evangelical Covenant Church. I have forty years of experience in pastoral care, counseling, and nonprofit management.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and Missions from San Jose Christian College, now William Jessup University.
As the interim Pastor I will be serving until the congregation chooses a permanent lead Pastor.
We invite you to join us as we live and love like Jesus.
