Zach & Rebecca Garoffolo – Family Ministry Leaders
Zach and Rebecca are passionate about building up the family teams of Wesley Chapel. They work together to encourage Dad’s and Mom’s in discipling their children and are excited to provide helpful resources that families can use in cultivating a healthy Christ-centered family culture. While prayerfully pursuing family ministry, they are also passionate about building up their own family team at home. They love teaching and playing with their children – Anna and Zachary Jr. Some of their favorite things to do as a family are hikes in the warm weather, Friday night sabbath dinners, playing boardgames, reading story books, living room dance parties and doing family devotions at breakfast time.
