Joanna Ferguson, Administrative Assistant

Joanna was born and raised in El Paso and is the second of three daughters. She is currently a candidate in Biological studies at The University of Texas at El Paso and is hoping to begin art classes at the Titovets School of Art. In her spare time she enjoys reading fiction or non-fiction books, solving puzzles, hiking, and spending quality time with her friends and her two sisters and brother in-law; a few of many things. Joanna came to know Jesus as her Lord and Savior about 5 years ago at Iglesia Solus Christus, a church located across the border in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. Joanna is currently serving in our Audio/Visual team on Sundays and would like to continue serving at Christ the King as much as she can for the expansion of the Kingdom of God.

Charles “Chuck” Isaac, Associate Pastor

Chuck is a native El Pasoan whose family arrived as immigrants from Lebanon in the Middle East at the turn of the last century. They settled in El Paso in the 1920’s and have been part of the vast multi-cultural fabric of the Southwest ever since. Chuck and his wife, Marivi, whose family emigrated from Cuba to El Paso in 1961, owned and operated Genesis Laboratories for 20 years in El Paso before deciding to attend graduate school at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida. It was there Chuck received a Master of Divinity in 2000 and pastored Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Kissimmee, Florida until accepting a call to Christ the King El Paso in 2003 where he continues to serve as a pastor. Chuck and Marivi love the Southwest and enjoy everything about the rich culture of their community and natural beauty of the desert... but occasionally they wish the ocean was closer to all this sandy beach!
