On April 5, Marlene Rodriguez was joyfully installed as the pastor of Crosswalk Sacramento, surrounded by church members, family, and friends.
Rodriguez began her ministry with the Northern California Conference in 2014 as a Bible Worker, then as the Assistant Pastor of Pleasant Hill Church. In 2019, she became the Associate Pastor of Gracepoint, where her compassionate leadership left a lasting impact.
Crosswalk Sacramento, a vibrant and quickly growing company that blossomed from home groups and pop-up gatherings, now welcomes Rodriguez’s spirit-led leadership. Known for her warmth, authenticity, and deep love for people, Rodriguez is passionate about creating spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.
Jose Marin, NCC executive secretary, affirmed, “Marlene is a very relational and community-minded pastor and has the skills to lead vibrant Crosswalk members to an abundant life in Jesus Christ.”
