Ignite Student Ministry prioritizes our time studying God's Word.  We believe the most important part of our ministry is grounding our students in truth and knowledge of the Bible.  Each week, we devote an hour of our meeting time to Bible study.  We dedicate time each week to prayer as well, allowing the students to share their needs and pray for each other.  We also have quarterly prayer and worship nights where parents and students come together to worship God through music, teaching, and prayer.

I am Angelicque Baca blessed to be the wife of Jerry Baca for 12 years. We are a blended family blessed with 4 girls 3 son in laws and one in the making and a beautiful granddaughter. I am born and raised in our beautiful 'city of faith' Santa Fe NM, grew up on yummy homemade tortillas, beans and fresh green chile. My favorite book of the Bible is the Bible because all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that a person of God may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work 2 Timothy 3:16-17, it is the greatest love story ever written and the best news ever!
So grateful to be in fellowship at Blaze and to serve through God's grace our youth brethren and community, in Christ's love. 

Hi, my name is Angelique (Ange). Born and raised in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have been blessed with the powerful testimony and how Christ has worked in my life. I have been married to my husband, Salvador Chavez for 27 years. We have two incredible children. I am a stay at home wife and a full-time caretaker of both of our children. I have found strength in the inspiring miracles of Jesus Christ throughout the book of Mark, which have guided me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. 

Alex grew up in San Antonio, Texas and moved to Santa Fe in September 2013. Here, he met his wife and love of his life, Julie, and they have 3 amazing and rambunctious boys together. He is a computer programmer who loves playing drums and drinking coffee. Blaze became his home church in 2014, where he now oversees the worship and communications ministries. 

Julie Martinez has literally lost count of all the places she’s lived in her life. But she finally put down roots in Santa Fe after meeting her husband, Alex (at Blaze!) Self-proclaimed as an ‘old soul’, she enjoys gardening, quilting, and journaling (on actual paper). Raising three little boys keeps her young (or accelerates her aging, depending on the day). They are the biggest blessings though. Julie has always loved kids and been passionate about reaching the next generation with the good news of Jesus. 

My name is Isaiah Montoya, and as of November 17, 2025, I am 19 years old. I am currently pursuing my career as an apprentice electrician, dedicated to mastering my craft and building a strong foundation for my future. I am unmarried and have no children at this time. As a proud New Mexican, I hold a deep appreciation for the rich flavors of our regional cuisine. My favorite dish is difficult to choose, as it lies somewhere between the savory warmth of a chicharrón burrito and the comforting indulgence of a well-stuffed Christmas sopapilla.
I am so grateful and excited to be a part of ignite student ministries!!! I attended ignite, when I was an adolescent, and I was so inspired and shaped by the leaders, who had a genuine love for Jesus. Who helped me come into my own faith, As a young man.
