A conference president is the spiritual leader of the membership and is responsible for the coordination of all the various avenues of church work. He facilitates strategic planning to accomplish the mission of the conference and church-related institutions.

Considered by many as a homecoming, Elton DeMoraes started his ministry in the Texas Conference as an associate pastor for the Houston Central Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1998. Seven years later, he became pastor of the Tyler Seventh-day Adventist Church in Tyler, Texas.

He transitioned to the Houston Northwest Seventh-day Adventist Church in 2009 for just a year before being elected English evangelism director for the Texas Conference. That position was merged with church planting, so eventually, in 2011, DeMoraes became ministerial, church planting and English evangelism director for the Texas Conference.

As the conference grew, he transitioned to focus on the ministerial portion. Four years later, he was elected Texas Conference executive secretary, a position he held for four years before his election to the Southwestern Union Conference.

“We are happy to have Elder DeMoraes back in Texas territory,” David Montoya, Texas Conference executive secretary, shared. “His passionate desire to proclaim the gospel wherever he goes will only enhance the work here in the Texas Conference.”

Please join us in welcoming Elton DeMoraes back to the Texas Conference and continue to pray for God’s blessings for the Texas Conference family.
