Roberto Barrett-Da Silva

Roberto Barrett-Da Silva became Student Pastor at Arise in July 2025. He loves helping students get to follow Jesus (the best friend he’s ever had!) Originally from Brazil, Roberto has over ten years of experience in student ministry, missions, and urban outreach in the United States and globally. Roberto and his wife, Kasie, have a daughter, Beah, and a lively puppy, Bushwick. They cherish the memory of their son, Brooks, whose life has deeply influenced their hearts and ministry. Roberto loves creating spaces where students grow in faith, build friendships, and find their God-given purpose. He believes this generation will boldly reflect Jesus' light. In his free time, he enjoys coffee, vinyl records, family adventures, movies, music, meaningful conversations, and spontaneous dance parties with Beah. Though his favorite color is black, his life is full of color and joy
