Rev. Andrew M. Schadsenior PastorRev. Andrew has a rich heritage of ministers and has worked in ministry since he was a young adolescent. Andrew is a persistent advocate for reconciliation to Jesus, especially for those who have been marked as outcasts by the church at large. His personal experience with reconciliation is a powerful testimony to anyone feeling they may not be qualified to be used by God because of who they were created to be. He is an enthusiastic and dynamic preacher and teacher of God’s word as well as a diligent Bible scholar. Having been installed as the Senior Pastor of East Street in 2025, he is eager to see God’s plans come to fruition and to be part of what God is doing here. Rev. Andrew is an ordained minister through Reconciling Pentecostals International.
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry..” 1 Timothy 1:12 |

Juliana has been working for the Lord for over a decade and serves Him through music, teaching, and preaching. She is a passionate prayer warrior who is unafraid to march into spiritual battle and take back what the devil stole, as well as an exuberant worshiper. She focuses her teaching topics around what she calls, “Biblical Brain Chemistry” and the individual relationship with Jesus offered to everyone through the cross. Rev. Juliana is a credentialed minister through Reconciling Pentecostals International and is happily married to Assistant Pastor Andrew; together they are raising their daughter, SarahJoy to know and love Jesus.
It is her prayer and goal that members and visitors feel welcomed, loved and encouraged in their walk with the Lord. “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.” -Psalm 73:26 |
