The Leadership Team: Those God Has Raised Up

Apostle Nick Peña was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in the Bronx, New York City. From an early age, his life was shaped by both cultures, giving him a unique perspective and a deep compassion for people from all walks of life.

At the age of 16, Apostle Nick had a powerful encounter with God that transformed the direction of his life. During that season, he developed a strong prayer life, spending up to 8 hours a day in prayer, laying a foundation of intimacy with God that continues to define his ministry today.

He has been faithfully serving in ministry for over 40 years, carrying a deep passion for revival, prayer, and the presence of God. Throughout his journey, he has been influenced and impacted by prominent ministers such as Richard Roberts, Benny Hinn, and Carlos Anacondia.

Apostle Nick is happily married to his wife, Jackie Peña, and together they have four children and one grandchild. Their family continues to serve God with unity, faith, and dedication.

Associate Pastors John and Susan Perry have been faithfully serving in ministry since joining the church in 2010. Married since 2006, they share a deep commitment to building God's Kingdom together. They carry a strong passion for equipping others through teaching, writing, and publishing — and through their company, Simply This Publishing, they help bring powerful messages and resources to life that encourage and strengthen believers.

Pastor Susan is a prolific author, having written over 100 books that inspire faith, healing, and spiritual growth. Pastor John is a dedicated teacher of God's Word, known for his clear, practical, and biblically grounded teaching that helps people grow deeper in their walk with Christ.

Mikhail Whitmore is an evangelist, author, motivational speaker, and creative visionary with a passion for seeing people walk fully in their God-given identity and purpose as children of the Most High God. Through preaching, teaching, writing, and digital media, he is committed to inspiring others to grow in faith, pursue holiness, and live boldly according to God's calling on their lives.

Mikhail's life and ministry were deeply impacted after being introduced to Apostle Nick Pena through his aunt. What began as a connection quickly became a life-changing spiritual relationship, as Apostle Nick became both a father figure and mentor to him. Under his guidance and wisdom, Mikhail has continued to grow in faith, leadership, and ministry.
