Pastor Ernest Molina was called to the Lord on June 22, 2022.

Ernest was born on May 4, 1944 in Sinton Texas. He attended West Oso high school. He proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam era. After his service Ernest attended Texas A&l University where he earned a degree in accounting.

Ernest met the love of his life Margareta, moved to California and soon after were married. It was in California where Ernest was saved and became a Christian. His love for the word of God led him to become a missionary and pastor. He was a dedicated servant of God. He ministered to people of all walks of life and across many borders.

Ernest moved back to Corpus Christi to be closer to his family. He became an accountant at Coastal Refining which later became Valero Refinery. He retired early from Valero and became a full-time minister.

In 2014 Ernest had a life-changing medical condition which caused him physical setbacks. He never once complained or let it stop him from continuing God's work. His faith in God was steadfast and unwavering. He truly was the anchor of our family. He was easy to talk too and willing to lend an ear. He always offered prayers and guidance to anyone who asked.

Ernest was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He will be greatly missed by many. He now walks on the streets of gold with the heavenly father and all of his loved ones who passed before him.
I love you, daddy Always!
