Bios

• Pastor David & Mary Jane

  Dave Diaz was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1967 and raised in Miami, Fl where he accepted JESUS as his Savior around the age of 12 years old. As a young man, Dave would love to read his Bible where he would focus on learning the Teachings of JESUS. At the age of 23, Brother Dave moved back to New Jersey on a business venture not knowing that the real reason The Lord had led him back there was to meet and marry his now wife of 17 years, Mary Jane. In 1999 after moving back to Miami, David and Jane became the proud parents of a daughter by the name of Isabella. In 2008 Dave was introduced to the Calvary Chapel movement at Calvary Chapel West Kendall Campus where he served on the setup team for 2.5 years. It was there that the Holy Spirit began to minister and change Dave’s heart towards ministry.

• Pastor Vinnie & Kerry

  Pastor Vinnie was saved through the Calvary Chapel movement in the late 1980s. Vinnie, who used to be a drug dealer, was invited to church by his mother to meet some people. He attended a mid-week Bible study and began questioning the Bible and his faith. After several months of hearing the word of God being preached, Vinnie prayed for God to reveal Himself. God answered Vinnie’s prayer and opened his eyes through a series of undeniable events. However, Vinnie also wanted to understand why he believed what he believed. He went to Calvary Chapel Bible College in Twin Peaks, CA, to study the Bible, not intending to become a pastor or to preach. Vinnie left college in his last semester because it was his turn to do devotional work at school, and he never spoke in front of a class at any grade level.
