Paul Manansala

Jersey City, NJ

I am taking steps toward starting a new church in Jersey City. I was born in Christ Hospital here in Jersey City. I grew up in a church that my dad planted here in Jersey City. My wife and I met here. She had only lived here since she came here from the Philippines, with the exception of the 2 years we lived in a NJ suburb. We were married here. We live here. We believe we will raise our family here and we have no desire to go anywhere else.

We dream of seeing the gospel move in powerful ways here in Jersey City. I am currently being mentored under Hoboken Grace, Redeemer City to City, and the North American Mission Board. I hope to become a pastor of a Jersey City church that impacts the community, builds strong families, and supports other gospel-centered churches and church plants throughout Jersey City.
