Pastor Joe Sapienza, Senior Pastor

Pastor Joe and his wife Donna have been pastoring at CIC since 1991. They have a vision to see revival fires burn all across New England. God prophetically called them to build an international congregation that will touch Metro-West and the nations by raising up leaders and sending them into the harvest field. Both have graduated from Zion Bible College. Pastor Joe received his BA in Biblical Studies at Northwest College of the Assemblies of God and is currently working on an MA from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Urban Ministry.

Prior to coming to CIC, they pastored in Yaphank, New York, and planted a church in Bellmore, New York. Pastor Joe is the president of Bread of Compassion, a humanitarian organizaion and he has taken over 300 lay people overseas on missions trips.

They recognize four stages of growth in the life of a maturing Christian:

1) Transformation: this is the initial life-changing decision a person makes by receiving Jesus as Savior.

2) Integration: a new Christian enters into the life of the church, is water baptized and goes on the Encounter with God retreat.

3) Formation: discipleship training.

4) Multiplication: reproduction of oneself by mentoring, modeling and coaching others.

Pastor Joe and Donna believe that this vision of equipping leaders for the work of the ministry will transform Metrowest. Serving at CIC is one of their greatest joys.

"We are so excited to see our people grasp hold of the vision that will change this region."

Pastor Joe and Donna reside in Natick. They have four children: Gina, Valerie, Christie and Angelo.

Pastors Jim & Faith Manolio
Children's Pastors

Jim and Faith Manolio are not strangers to Celebration International Church. Faith grew up in our congregation and attended Zion Bible College where she met her future husband Jim. After graduating Zion, Jim and Faith were youth pastors at Christian Life Center in Central Falls, RI for 5 years. They moved back to MA in 2000 and have attended C.I.C. ever since.

Faith worked in the past as our office secretary and Jim has served on our church board. They are both employed in the work sector and will continue their secular employment while they minister at C.I.C.

This couple are dedicated to our children for the cause of Christ. They will lead our Children's Ministry, and as our congregation grows, so will their responsibility, influence and position grow.
