Pastor Arnulfo Rodriguez Jr. is a dedicated servant of Jesus Christ whose life and ministry stand as a testament to the transformative power of the gospel. Raised in an environment marked by hardship, addiction, and community brokenness, Pastor Arnulfo experienced firsthand the depths of hopelessness. In 2004, his life was forever changed when he encountered the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. What once appeared to be a life without direction became a powerful testimony of restoration, purpose, and grace.

For more than 18 years, Pastor Arnulfo has faithfully pursued the calling God placed upon his life. His commitment to ministry is rooted not in personal recognition, but in a sincere desire to lift high the name of Jesus. His leadership reflects humility, obedience, and a deep compassion for people. Over the years, he has invested in a wide range of ministries, including prison outreach, community feeding programs, youth mentorship, pastoral counseling, and one-on-one discipleship.

Pastor Arnulfo believes deeply in walking alongside individuals as they grow in faith, heal from past wounds, and step into their God-given identity. His heart for discipleship and restoration continues to shape the culture of Crux Journey Church, where he serves as shepherd to a growing body of believers united by a shared desire to follow Christ faithfully.

Supporting him in every aspect of ministry is his wife, First Lady Gloria Ann Rodriguez, whose prayer life, strength, and compassion make her an invaluable partner in the work of the gospel. Together, they are blessed with four children and four cherished grandchildren, all of whom reflect God’s goodness and grace in their lives.

“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” – Matthew 19:26
