Cesar Contreras and Rachel Anderle
Orlando, FL

Cesar came to Orlando right after college after living in NYC his whole life. It was in Orlando where Cesar started in pastoral ministry, went to seminary, and most importantly, met his wife, Rachel. Cesar received a Master's in Clinical Counseling and Master's in Biblical studies from Reformed Theological Seminary. Both Rachel and Cesar have a passion for church planting and have a deep burden for the city of Orlando. After 10 years at Mosaic Church, Cesar and Rachel sensed that God was finally sending them to plant in Downtown Orlando. Our heart's desire is be a diverse church community made up of disciples of Jesus, that seek the presence of God, and engages in the spiritual renewal of this city and the nations.

Hunter and Anna Rodgers
Cincinnati, OH

My wife and I met in a college ministry on Penn State's campus. We've now been married for 6 years and have developed a deep love for Cincinnati and the Midwest. Since leaving an engineering career to enter pastoral ministry full-time at the Oaks Church, the Lord has grown in us a strong burden to see more healthy churches planted in this place, and more people saved and sent to proclaim the worthiness of our God. We want every voice in our city and the world to join in the song around the heavenly throne, exalting the King together.
