Pastor Liviu Ciot (“Pastor Liviu”) has faithfully served in ministry for more than 29 years.

 

He and his wife, Elena, met in the Republic of Moldova and they got married in 2004. Together, they are blessed with one son, Almiro.

 

Over the years, Pastor Liviu and his family have traveled extensively, sharing the Gospel and ministering in many countries, including Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Spain, Bulgaria, France, Russia, Germany, Ireland, and the United States. Before moving to the United States, Pastor Liviu served for eight years as Director of the “Speranța” Health Center in the Republic of Moldova, where he also led the Medical Missionary School. In addition, he served for two years as Director of the “ProLogos” Humanitarian College.

​

Pastor Liviu joined our church in December 2025, and we are truly blessed to have him as part of our church family.

 

As an ordained minister, he is deeply involved in many aspects of church life, including preaching, visitation ministry, prayer, outreach, and community engagement. His passion for serving people and sharing the love of Christ is evident in everything he does.

 

One of Pastor Liviu’s favorite sayings is: “God can give you what you want, or He can give you something better.” This reflects his deep trust in God’s guidance and his conviction that God remains in control when we place our lives in His hands. His favorite Bible verse is Bible: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
