Meet The Pastor

Senior Pastor Joe Manno
Joe and Terri Manno, Senior Pastors
Joe and Terri have been together since they were 17, and have been married since 1984. They spent 10 years in Los Angeles where Joe’s journey began. Acting in TV and movies, Joe landed in stand-up comedy where he wrote and performed a stand-up motivational comedy concert for kids entitled, “A Fighting Chance.” Taking this show in and throughout the United States and around different parts of the world Joe’s passion for reaching the children grew to a life long mission. Adding to the list, Joe and Terri moved to Orlando Florida in 1994 and he became a pastor in 1995. Having a children’s and youth ministry of 800 amazing young people there has never been a dull moment in this family. Joe has traveled the world preaching the gospel to all ages as well as bringing his message of hope to the children with his motivational comedy concert. Terri has home schooled their three daughters, while juggling Joe’s schedule at the same time. While it is a privilege to pastor a church in conjunction with the A Fighting Chance comedy concerts it is only the beginning to what is to come. Stay tuned.
