Born into a pastor's home in Michigan, Karla Gordon Trevino has been involved in ministry since childhood. She was just five years old when she first began singing with her sisters, and eleven when she started teaching Sunday School. She has continued to minister in music and Bible teaching throughout the years and earned her ministerial license with the United Pentecostal Church, International, in 2012. She became the head pastor of Pentecostals of Aurora (Colorado) in 2016.

Both Karla's music ministry and pulpit ministry have taken her around the world, where she sings, records, and travels with her five sisters, The Gordon Sisters. She has spoken at many churches, conferences, and other special occasions. Karla Gordon Trevino has also been a member of the Colorado District Ladies Ministries Team for many years and has recently helped spearhead a new ladies’ healing conference called Wholly Healed.
