José Rodriguez was born in Bronx, New York and raised in a tightly knit Hispanic community. His father instilled a sense of adventure and a willingness to trust despite the unknown. José answered the call from God and graduated from Alliance Theological Seminary with an MDiv. and has been serving in leadership at Goodwill since 2004. In January of 2015, José accepted a call to be the next lead pastor to Goodwill Church's second branch, located in the City of Port Jervis, NY. As part of the pastoral team overseeing congregational care and all aspects of recovery ministries in the church, he hopes to be able to continue to identify and provide means in which God’s people can make the smallest adjustments in their lives in order to reorient their thinking towards a more cross-focused life. Pastor José lives in the Town of Wawayanda with his wife Kim, and have been married since 1992. Kim has always had a strong spirit that made José stop and know that she was the right one for him. Kim is a graduate of Liberty University with a duel degree in business and psychology. Kim is a Family Navigator for the Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Council. José and Kim have two children. Jake is married to his high school sweetheart, Jayme, and serves in the United State Navy. Carley, their youngest is high energy and full of compassion for others.
