Pastor’s Osmany & Cecilia Espinosa

Senior & Co Pastor’s

Pastor Osmany is the Senior Pastor here at Mountain Grove Chapel. He was born and raised in Cuba where he also found Jesus in 1998. In the summer of 2000, he graduated from Camaguey College of Education and received a B.A. in TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language). However, days after his graduation and since he had long felt God’s call to full-time ministry, he resigned his job as an English Professor at College and began working full time at his local church. In December of 2000, he married Pastor Cecilia and today they have two boys, Kensy and Kervin. He served as youth pastor at his home church Words of Life on the Rock AG Church, from 2005 to 2011. In the US, Pastor Osmany worked as the Dean of Academics at New Life for Girls, a residential program for women with life controlling problems, at their Main Campus from 2012 to 2014. He became the Senior Pastor at MGC in April, 2014. Pastor Osmany’s emphasis on the need for spiritual growth and the passion for winning souls has resulted in a dramatically increased participation of our church people in diverse outreaches and other local ministries.
