FAITH FAMILY & FINANCES

Henry Fernandez answered the call of God on his life in 1985 when he moved from Brooklyn, New York, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In 1991, Fernandez, along with his wife, Carol, founded the Plantation Worship Center in the cafeteria of a local elementary school in south Florida with only eleven members. Now known as The Faith Center Ministries, the church makes its home in the former Sunrise Theater, where more than eight thousand members embrace the mission of “Reaching the World for Jesus.” Henry also founded the University of Fort Lauderdale, a nondenominational Christian institute established to advance Christian education and promote leadership in Christian and secular arenas alike. Henry and Carol are the parents of two young sons, Seion-Zane and Elijah-Zane.
