Pastor Michael Pilla
Rev. Michael Angelo Pilla DTh., was an international award-winning jewelry designer and goldsmith before being called to urban ministry. Pastor Michael grew up in St. Paul’s Lower East Side, also known as Little Italy. He came to Christ in August 1988.
He received his calling to Urban Ministry in 1992; but he was reluctant to leave the Jewelry industry so abruptly. However, he surrendered to the Lord and entered Seminary in the fall of 1994. This moment marked the beginning of Michael's journey into the ministry, which led him to attend / Seminary for preparation to fulfill the work which God had called him to do.
