Pastor Claudia Paz was born in Bogota, Colombia and by the age of 12 moved to Los Angeles California. Here, she built her consulting business from the ground up. As a business consultant and tax expert for almost three decades, she has taught financial literacy and has empowered individuals, businesses, and non-profits through administrative coaching.

Twenty years ago the Lord led Claudia to simultaneously utilize her gifts within ministry. Claudia further stepped into her calling when she graduated from the Bible Institute at Angelus Temple and also received her foursquare credentials. She went on to receive her Bachelor of Arts from Facultad de Teologia Internacional, and her Master of Arts in Leadership from Life Pacific University. In 2017, the Lord called Claudia and her husband Jose Luis Paz to plant a church in Fillmore, California. Together, they pastor and disciple Sembradores Church with the vision of achieving spiritual, social, academic, and cultural transformation within their community. Claudia and Jose Luis together have four boys and two daughters-in-law, and recently welcomed their first grandbaby girl. They enjoy any opportunity to spend quality time with the entire family. Her daily goal is to be an instrument of blessing, showing the love of God, the redemptive work of Jesus, the word of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit wherever God takes her as well as establishing a legacy that transcends.
