In 2005, Manny Alaniz retired early from his position as a captain with the Texas Department of Public Safety to pursue a full-time calling to ministry. Since then, he has faithfully served the Lord as an ordained pastor and church planter, helping establish two congregations and continuing to provide pastoral leadership grounded in biblical truth and compassion.
Pastor Manny holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Baylor University’s Truett Seminary, where his studies focused on connecting theological education with practical ministry. His passion is equipping others to live out their faith with clarity, courage, and grace.
He has been happily married to his wife, Sandy, for over 40 years, and together they have raised three married sons. Manny and Sandy are now proud grandparents to many wonderful grandchildren and cherish every moment spent with their growing family.
Whether preaching, teaching, or walking alongside others in their spiritual journey, Pastor Manny is dedicated to serving Christ and His Church with wisdom, humility, and joy.
