Pastor Isaac Minkah is originally from Ghana in West Africa. He brings a rich academic and spiritual background to his ministry. He earned his Master of Divinity (M.Div) from Drew Theological School in Madison, New Jersey, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Statistics from Garden City University in Kumasi, Ghana. His academic journey also includes an Associate Degree in Statistics from Cape Coast Technical University, a Diploma in Education from the University of Education, Winneba, and a unit of Clinical Pastoral Education from Overlook Medical Center in Summit, New Jersey.

Before answering the call to ministry, Pastor Isaac was a professional teacher. His background in education shines through in his thoughtful preaching and engaging Bible Study lessons. Prior to joining our church family, he served faithfully at Park Avenue St. John’s UMC and RISE Church, both located in East Orange, New Jersey.

Pastor Isaac is a man deeply rooted in prayer and faith. He believes in miracles and is passionate about evangelism and outreach. He has a heart for uniting people and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to bring about transformation in the world. Embracing cultural diversity and open to learning, he values the unique gifts each individual brings to the community.

A social and approachable leader, Pastor Isaac is always ready to listen and share the love of God. He lives by the motto: "If it must be done, it must be done well."

Pastor Isaac is happily married to Gifty, and together they are blessed with three wonderful sons: Nathan, Divine, and Melvin.
