Pastor Isaac Marmelo

Hi, I’m Isaac Marmelo — a Christ follower, husband, father, and Lead Pastor here at Emmanuel Community Church. I’m passionate about serving God’s people with faithfulness, humility, and joy.

My wife Diana and I have been married for over 20 years, and we’re blessed to raise our son, Caleb. Both of us came to faith in Portuguese Pentecostal churches and share a lifelong love for the local church and its calling.

I sensed God’s call to pastoral ministry as a teenager, and that call has shaped every step of my life since. With a background in church leadership and over two decades of experience in both ministry and administration, my heart is to shepherd the church in a way that reflects Christ’s love, truth, and grace.

At Emmanuel, we believe the Church is not just a place we attend — it’s a spiritual family, called to grow together in worship, discipleship, and mission. My desire is to help foster a Christ-centered community where people are transformed by the Word of God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live out their faith every day.

We’re grateful to be part of what God is doing here at Emmanuel, and I look forward to walking this journey of faith with you.
