Gabe Manjarrez

Co-pastor & planting pastor

Pastor Gabe Manjarrez planted Reborn Church in 2013. A Phoenix native and the father of four sons, he was heavily involved in the secular rap industry during the earlier years of his life. In 1999, God saved him and called him to preach the gospel to the lost through Christian rap music. Since then, Gabe has been committed to evangelism in any area that God has given him a platform. In 2004, he coauthored a hip-hop musical called "The One," in which he also acted as the main character. "The One" was featured at the Arizona State Fair and The Herberger Theater in Downtown Phoenix. In 2007, Gabe began to feel a call to preach and lead others, leading him to complete a ministry training program called Real Men's Ministry. Throughout Gabe's life, God was pursuing, equipping, and calling him to be a pastor. In 2012, Gabe resigned from his job of 18 years to answer that call. In 2013, he was ordained as a pastor and founded The Reborn Church of Phoenix. One of Pastor Gabe's youngest sons has autism, giving him compassion for people who are developmentally disabled. One of his visions for the church is to minister and serve families with developmental disabilities. Pastor Gabe is a committed father and shepherd, dedicated to discipleship, serving others, and preaching the Gospel.
