'THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE': Montoyas celebrate 50th anniversary as pastors of Sinai Pentecostal Church

When Sam Montoya arrived in San Marcos, he was just 21 years old. A fresh face in the community as the new pastor of Sinai Pentecostal Church. 

That was in 1971. Now, Montoya — the longest serving pastor in the city — will celebrate his 50th anniversary as a pastor on Sunday. 

“To me, serving Sinai Pentecostal Church is the highlight of my life,” Montoya said. “Serving God, and the people.”
