Meet our leadership
James De La Torre Jr. - Communications Director
James has been attending TAF since 2014. He finds the worship experience authentic in his continual growth and personal relationship with Christ.
He recently graduated from UNC-G with a BS degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. And his next step is to apply to a dietetic internship to go further in his new career in life.
