Our Pastors

In 1992, Ruddy and Maria Gracia founded Segadores de Vida in their small apartment, a humble beginning for what would become an internationally recognized ministry. Their unwavering dedication has seen the church grow from local roots to global outreach. Continuing this legacy of impactful leadership, Rico and Vanessa Cruz passionately lead the youth and young adults. Known for their dynamic and engaging approach, they not only connect with the local community but also make their mark nationally and internationally. Key figures in organizing the SYA Conference, one of the year's biggest events, they have become synonymous with youth empowerment and spiritual growth. Together, these leaders embody the spirit of transformation and community that Segadores stands for.

History of Segadores

Founded in 1992 by Ruddy and Maria Gracia, two passionate Dominican pastors and alumni of Christ for the Nations, our church has a rich history rooted in faith and community. After moving to Miami, Florida, their vision and dedication quickly transformed a modest congregation into a flourishing community. Recognized by Outreach Magazine as the fastest-growing church in the United States, our church has achieved remarkable national and international success.

Today, our influence extends far beyond the walls of our sanctuary. Each week, we reach millions through our active presence on Facebook and Instagram, spreading our message of hope and faith across digital landscapes. In South Florida alone, we have thousands of dedicated leaders who host home groups, creating a network of fellowship and spiritual growth that stretches from West Palm Beach to Homestead. Our journey is a testament to the power of unwavering faith and the impact of committed leadership.
