Leoneida Padilla

Pastor Leoneida has always had a passion for women's ministry. When she and her husband started their church in 2008, one of the first things she did was arrange and host a camp retreat for women. From that year forward, she hosted many women's retreats. In 2014, Pastor Leoneida launched a women's ministry called, "Walking Into Purpose". She hosted monthly events to encourage women to walk into their God-given purpose. In 2016, Pastor Leoneida launched a women's camp retreat called "Emerged". Emerged has since then expanded to be an annual women's retreat and a ministry that reaches women from all walks of life and who are less fortunate with resources to help them get back on their feet.
