Frank Dell’Erba, Pastor

October 02, 2021 – August 18, 2023

The son of Adventist Italian immigrants, Pastor Frank has a passion to see the gospel lived out in the church through authentic spiritual relationships, understanding that biblical church is a group of people following Jesus together. He considers it his life work to encourage the church to follow the Jesus of Scripture in authentic relationship rather than just “do church” as an obligation or a program to get through, and to share the amazing good news of the love of Jesus with the world.

Patrick wants you to know he has dedicated his life to being a loving husband, a caring son and brother, and a servant that will faithfully lead God’s people towards God’s kingdom purposes.

Patrick believes in the power of prayer and the power of the blood of Jesus to transform lives. He believes that God is doing a mighty work at Kanisa Fellowship and that the best is yet to come.

Mathew Feeley, Pastor

November 1, 2015 – January 19, 2019

At the age of 16 Mathew Feeley was on a journey to find God. He wasn’t sure exactly what he was looking for but he knew he wasn’t happy with the way his young life had unfolded. Drugs, alcohol and a life of crime left Mathew feeling emptier than ever before. He began reading the Bible and speaking with older friends about spiritual matters but still he was confused and conflicted. God work with him and he trusted God.

Today, Mathew is a sought after speaker with an incredible story of redemption, salvation and conviction. Learn about his journey today
