Meet our Pastor’s 

Our Pastors Johnny and Janice Batista have captured the hearts of multitudes from all around the world with their unique and modern approach to ministry. They are considered by many a leading “power couple” in the inspirational and faith community. Johnny and Janice are highly sought-after voices to millennials, young professionals and wholesome families pursuing personal development, transformation and the discovery of Kingdom purpose.

They have been called to structured a church that’s focusing on restoring what the devil stole. There’s so many people nowadays who have been wounded by the hypocrisy in many churches. They know and understand 1st hand why it means to carry their cross to follow Jesus. They understand the magnitude of their calling and they are not Playing games when it comes to being the church.

They understand the criticisms they have received by friends and family….is the result of their powerful Kingdom calling.

They will not allow anything to taint….The integrity of who God called them to be…… This is the very reason why many Water down Churches & Gummy bear christians and pastor’s, Would feel very Skeptical about their associations to them.

They have truly shown themselves to be equipped for battle & Understand not every open door is their assignment. 

Very Few Pastor’s have been able to remain faithful with the little, with out secretly seeking occult powers to manipulate the move of God or capture the Hearts of the people.

Their passion & love for ministry for the past 15 years and counting has prepared them to be fully aware of the spiritual warfare that’s in the air…..Battling against them & Those under their care everyday.

They are an example of what’s God’s design for Pastor’s should look like, they have real testimonies, real stories to prove God has been with them since day one. They don’t need full chair chairs to prove their calling.

They understand that everyone who walks through their doors is facing a different battle. They only have one opportunity to win your heart over for christ. They will not use that one opportunity to win you over under false pretenses. They will not promise you a prosperous life that doesn’t require total surrender unto God, many churches are all ready doing that.

They are called to be different and set apart for such a time as this.  They exist to equip believers with the word of God so they can learn how to fight against the enemy and his schemes.

Everyone at cdr is a soul to them and not a dollar bill. They both work hard and make their own money.  If you walk into our church it is their responsibility to help you take your spiritual lives seriously, because they are already blessed beyond measure, They are not in ministry to gain personal profit’s!

No Matter what obstacles you might be facing, you need to encounter a real God who can help you get out of real life citations. 

Unfortunately many believers call them selves Christians but have a hard time submitting themselves to a Powerful life of

1.Prayer 2.Worship 3.Fasting 4.Word Knowledge 5.Giving and 6.Serving 7.Displaying genuine Love for each other

We are all christians and to them it’s extremely sad to see that other false religions are increasingly taking their religion more seriously then many christians take their relationship with christ. They have taught us that 1st hand. Unfortunately due to that we see many emotional church hoppers seeking to connect with God and placing a false expectation for Church Pastor’s & leadership’s to fill a void in their lives that only Jesus can fill.

They fully understand that the times we are living in will require from them more than just…Pizza & Social Events to be able to help those under their care gain spiritual wisdom. They need a committed generation who is willing to be honest and transparent when it comes to who they are. So they have created a bilingual atmosphere to make those who ready to assist our church actually be the church.

Because we are all saved by his grace, They give us and other’s the opportunity to integrate with them on how ministry should be done on a deeper level. We have seen through them and their testimony how very few are actually willing and ready to leave their life behind to follow Jesus, to gain spiritual insight to understand the cost of being a true disciple!

”Don’t ever settle for a Gummy bear , Sugar coated – have it your way Christianity!’ as they love to say!   

Being both born and raised in the toughest streets of NYC from international decent’s such as Puerto Rican, Dominican, Peruvian, Ecuadorian and Spain. They have been able to create a warm Multi Cultural Bilingual Church for those who take Christianity seriously.
