Manager

Dr. Milfred Minatrea was called to be pastor of Grand View Baptist Church in October 2011. A native of east Texas, he earned degrees from Criswell College and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary before completing his doctorate in Missions Administration at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Mill Valley, California.

Since he became pastor of Grand View, the church has embraced a fresh vision for ministry and adopted a Corporate Mission Field adjacent to its facilities. That mission field is an area for which Grand View has accepted responsibility of establishing relationships with residents while seeking to ensure their access to the life-​changing Gospel of Christ. Milfred is passionate that the church reclaim mission as it reason for existing, paraphrasing one of his favorite authors, «There is a church because God has a mission and not vice-​versa.»

Minatrea is also founding director of the Missional Church Center which he started in 2007 and has written 2 books.
