Manuel Mendoza
Pastor Manuel was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and is a graduate of Carl Hayden High School.
After a tumultuous background, the grace of God allowed him to put faith in Christ at the age of 23. A year after that, and upon following God’s leading in his life towards a call to ministry, he arrived in Greenville, SC, to attend University and obtain a B.A. in Bible (2001), an M.A. in Bible (2003), as well as an M.Div (2005), all while church planting in the area since 2000.
He is currently employed in Business Development with UPS, with corporate responsibilities in the Northwestern US.
He has been married since 2001 to Dr. Mary Mendoza, who is a native of E. Jerusalem. Together, they have three girls – Victoria, Lynda, and Ana. Their strong connections in the Spanish-speaking world and the Holy Land have allowed them to impact the community as well as lead several Holy Land tours over the years.
