Our Pastor
​Our pastor, Marin Cerchez, grew up in Eastern Europe when Christianity was persecuted. If you had a Bible in your possession, you'd get three years in prison. He was an atheist, a medical doctor, and a university professor. About 20 years ago, the Holy Spirit called and enlightened him. Since then, he has been passionate about Jesus, evangelism, and apologetics.
