The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), today announced that Pastor Gabby Mejia and Pastor Manny Rosario have joined the NHCLC 300, a national network of influential Latino evangelical pastors and leaders in the United States.
Pastor Mejia also serves as the founding pastor of New Birth Church in Central Florida and leads one of the largest and most influential Latino congregations in the region.
Pastor Rosario serves as vice president of multicultural engagement at Convoy of Hope and is a respected faith leader and communicator, known for his commitment to biblical teaching, discipleship and equipping the next generation of leaders to impact culture with the truth of the Gospel.
They join a growing movement of nationally recognized voices within the NHCLC 300, including Myrka Dellanos and Yuri Cordero, as well as key leaders advancing outreach and ministry initiatives such as Pastor Marco Garcia and Pastor Rafael Angel Porras, who are helping expand the organization’s national and global impact.
The NHCLC 300 brings together Latino evangelical leaders across the United States who are united in their commitment to advancing the Gospel while advocating for protecting life, defending religious liberty and the pursuit of biblical justice.
“Pastors Gabby Mejia and Manny Rosario represent the very best of Latino evangelical leadership in America,” said Samuel Rodriguez, president of the NHCLC. “I have witnessed firsthand their faith, their leadership and their unwavering commitment to serving God in their communities. Their voices will help continue advancing the Lamb’s Agenda at a time when our nation needs moral clarity and spiritual leadership more than ever.”
Mejia said joining the network reflects his commitment to advancing the Gospel and serving communities with biblical conviction.
“I am honored to join the NHCLC 300 and stand alongside leaders committed to advancing the Gospel, defending life, protecting religious liberty, and promoting biblical justice,” shared Pastor Gabby Mejia. “My commitment has always been to stand firmly on godly principles and the authority of Scripture. While we engage our nation and its institutions, my allegiance is not to any political party but to the Kingdom agenda of Jesus Christ—calling our communities back to righteousness, justice, and the transforming power of the Gospel.”
Rosario echoed that vision, emphasizing the importance of unity and spiritual leadership in this cultural moment.
“It is an honor to join the NHCLC 300 and link arms with leaders who are committed to advancing truth, strengthening families and bringing hope to our communities,” said Pastor Manny Rosario. “This is a defining moment for the Church to lead with clarity and conviction. God is raising up leaders who will boldly speak His truth and serve with humility, and I am grateful to be part of that mission.”
Garcia highlighted the significance of continued growth within the network and its impact on communities nationwide.
“The expansion of the NHCLC 300 reflects a powerful movement of leaders rising up to serve their communities with faith and purpose,” said Pastor Marco Garcia, founder of The Way World Outreach. “To the glory of God, this initiative will help strengthen our outreach efforts and extend our impact across the nation.”
Porras emphasized the importance of unity among leaders committed to advancing the Gospel.
“When leaders come together around the truth of God’s Word and a shared mission to serve others, we see real transformation take place,” said Pastor Rafael Angel Porras. “The addition of these leaders strengthens what God is already doing through the NHCLC across this nation and beyond.”
Founded by Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, the NHCLC is committed to serving millions of Hispanic Christians across tens of thousands of churches in the United States and throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora, serving as a leading voice for Latino evangelicals on issues of faith, family and justice.
