Paul Manoogian

Worship Leader as well as Director of Youth Ministry.

Born in South Florida the year after Hurricane Andrew (1993) Paul Manoogian grew up in Palmetto Bay where he attended Old Cutler Presbyterian Church and developed his love for music and The LORD. 

In 6th grade, he began teaching himself guitar and piano.  In 10th grade, he started playing guitar in the youth band at church and helped lead the congregation on Sundays.

He studied music in high school and college and in 2014 interned as a worship leader at Village Seven Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs.  From 2011-2014 he also worked on staff as a wilderness outdoor guide at Deerfoot Lodge (a Christian mountaineering camp for boys in the Adirondack Mountains).

In 2015 He was hired by South Kendall Community Church as the Music Director and in 2017 was offered the position of Youth Director as well.  In 2018 Paul started his own fishing charter business named Legacy Charters and continues to take people out into the Everglades. Paul can be found playing guitar, writing worship songs, guiding in the Everglades, and preparing lessons for Youth Group.  His love for God's creation and God's mission of building disciples continues to grow. 

Speaker

Rev. Victor Labrada

Assistant Pastor of Young Adults & Families

Victor graduated from the University of Miami back when they were still good at football and received his Master’s of Divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, where they still routinely beat the Lutherans in friendly soccer matches.

In 2014, Victor was ordained to pastoral ministry. He served for a year and a half at Grace Community Church of Carrboro, NC Carolina before returning to Miami in the summer of 2015 to join the pastoral staff of Kendall Presbyterian Church.

Victor celebrates his Cuban heritage by cooking delicious food and watching baseball. He is married to the most patient woman on earth and is the father to the most beautiful baby girls on earth. What are the chances of that?
