Youth Pastor
Victor & Jodie Salvat
Victor and Jodie Salvat bring a dynamic blend of experience, passion, and faith to the Youth for Truth program. As a married team, they have dedicated their lives to helping young people discover the transformative power of Christ while fostering a supportive, faith-filled environment.
Victor’s journey into youth ministry began when Pastors Shawn and Jaime recognized his unique gifts. With a background in creating Hip Hop music and years of street and school kingdom work through Jaime Torres Ministries, Victor excels in connecting with youth and planting seeds of truth and hope. Jodie, who first served in youth ministry at Hulls Grove Baptist Church in Lincolnton, NC, shares Victor’s passion for seeing young people grow in their relationship with Christ.
Both Victor and Jodie were profoundly shaped by their own faith journeys. Victor encountered God’s love during a difficult time, and it changed his life forever. For Jodie, coming to faith at age 10 was the start of a journey that deepened significantly in 2013. Together, they are guided by foundational scriptures—Victor draws strength from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, while Jodie looks to Matthew 6:33 for direction.
