Church Planting
Since first opening April 2025 at the Rayford RV Park Community Center, iT Church has continued to grow and now gathers at 24803 Oakhurst Drive in Spring, Texas.
The vision for iT Church was born through the leading of the Holy Spirit as Bryan Cody sensed God calling him to plant a church that would be firmly rooted in the Bible and fully centered on Jesus Christ. During that season, Bryan was led to read Craig Groeschel’s Lead Like It Matters, a book on building healthy, life-giving ministry, and one theme stood out again and again: some churches have “it,” and some churches do not.
For us, that “it” is not a trend, a program, or a personality. It is the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the truth of God’s Word, and a church body committed to living out the book of Acts through worship, discipleship, prayer, and real community.
Today, iT Church exists to be a biblical, Spirit-led, God-centered church where people can encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and be transformed for His purpose. What began as a church plant has become a growing fellowship in Spring, Texas, committed to loving people, preaching truth, and making a lasting impact in the community.

Pastor Yesenia "Yesi" Gonzalez
Yesi serves as the Youth Pastor of iT Kids at iT Church. She joined iT Church because she sensed God calling her to be part of something built with intention, prayer, and bold faith. She didn’t just want to attend a church, she wanted to help build one. From the beginning, she saw the heart of iT Church: reaching families, teaching truth without compromise, and creating a place where people can grow in their identity in Christ. She knew this was where she was meant to plant roots.
Starting and leading iT Kids wasn’t just an opportunity for Yesi it was a calling. She believes with her whole heart that children are not “the future church”; they are the church right now. Kids are capable of understanding biblical truth, walking in leadership, and hearing God’s voice at a young age. Her passion is to create a space where children feel safe, seen, and spiritually equipped. She wants every child who walks into iT Kids to know who they are, Whose they are, and that they were created to lead with courage and character.
Yesi is a graduate of Woodlands Seminary (Class of 2025) and has served in ministry since 2022 in various leadership roles. Her heart has always been centered on discipleship, leadership development, and partnering with parents to help raise strong, faith-filled children. Everything that is taught in iT Kids is rooted in Scripture and designed to build confidence, identity, and a strong spiritual foundation.
She is also a proud mom of two, and motherhood has deeply shaped the way she leads. She understands the weight of entrusting your children to someone who will protect their hearts while stretching their faith. It is an incredible responsibility, and she does not take it lightly.
Being part of iT Church and leading iT Kids is more than a role to her it is an assignment from God. Her prayer is that every child who comes through the ministry will grow into a bold disciple of Jesus, equipped to influence their schools, homes, and communities for God’s glory.
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12.
