Pastor Rodney Nelson

The ministry of Rodney Nelson began after pursuing a successful business career in real estate. He knew that the call of God to minister was always on his life, however, it took him some time to heed to this calling after he was filled with the Holy Ghost in 1991. His answer to the call of God on his life led him to study theology at Christian Life College in Stockton, California.

.....Upon his return from Bible College, Rodney established himself in the business world as the spokesman of the National Land Bank and then left his profession to enter the full-time ministry as Pastor Nelson's assistant. He received his local license from the United Pentecostal Church International in May of 1996, his general licenses in February of 1998 and was ordained in May of 1999.

.....Rodney has specialized in developing new ministries within the church. From the highly successful Home Bible Fellowship ministry, his gift of innovation has led East Valley into new venues of meeting spiritual needs, such as our tech ministries. He is highly involved every ministry at East Valley. His passion is to assist East Valley in staying in focus to our calling and ministry. Rodney is man of passion, purpose and vision who has built his life by developing personal relationships with everybody he comes in contact with.

In 2001 Rodney Nelson was installed to be our Co-Pastor. Since this time he has been responsible for all aspects of East Valley Ministries.
