Antonio Diaz

Antonio serves as the Assistant Youth Pastor at Elevated Church with a heart for helping people know Jesus personally, grow in their faith, and discover what it means to walk with Him in everyday life. Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, Antonio has a deep connection to the community and a desire to meet people where they are with the love, truth, and compassion of Christ.

Since becoming part of Elevated, Antonio has served in several areas of ministry, including youth ministry and the worship team. Now, as Assistant Youth Pastor, his heart is especially focused on the next generation. He wants young people to encounter God for themselves, build a faith rooted in Scripture, and know that they have a place in the church and a purpose in the Kingdom of God.

At the center of Antonio’s ministry is a simple conviction: people should not only hear about the love of Jesus, but experience it through the way they are seen, cared for, encouraged, and welcomed. Whether he is serving students, supporting a ministry, or simply being present with someone who needs it, Antonio seeks to reflect the character of Jesus in the way he leads and serves.

Beyond ministry, Antonio enjoys spending time at the gym and finding ways to be creative. In every area of life, he continues to grow in his own walk with Christ while helping others take their next step with Him.
