PASTORS & STAFF 

Manny Coronilla

Lead Pastor

Manny was saved back in 1989 and has served as Lead Pastor of Calvary Chapel El Monte since its inception, which initially started as a home Bible study back in February of 2002. He has been married to his lovely wife Shelly since 1992, and has 2 children – Ariel and Aaron.

In his own words, “Simply put, I have been the recipient of God’s abundant and amazing grace. I’m completely aware of the fact that I’m unworthy and unable, but I also believe I’ve been called by God, and it just so happens to be a calling to love and serve the most wonderful family and flock in the whole wide world.”

The Scriptures God used to encourage Manny in planting the church are Deuteronomy 31:6; Jeremiah 29:7; Galatians 2:10; Psalm 127:1; and John 14:31. Each one of these passages has a personal word in how God established the church in El Monte.

Henry Acosta

Assistant Pastor

Henry was saved back in 2004 at a Calvary Chapel Men’s Conference and has fellowshipped here at Calvary Chapel El Monte since 2006. He’s been on staff full-time since 2010.

In his own words, “I’ve been married to my beautiful bride Liz since 2002 and we have 3 boys, Jeremy, Maximus, and Isaac. From the first day, the message of the Gospel penetrated my heart, I’ve remained in awe of the grace God has shown me through Jesus Christ. I know that the Lord called me into ministry for no other reason than what Paul writes in, 1 Corinthians 1:26-27, ‘For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.'”
