Rev. Bruce D. Rzengota - Lead Pastor
Bruce and his wife Cheryl have been in ministry for nearly 25 years.  They began their ministry here at Norwalk Alliance church in the Fall of 2005. They have a passion for outreach and a heart for people.  Their ministry is marked by strong leadership, speaking and music skills.

Raised as a Catholic, Pastor Bruce fell away from the rituals of church as a disillusioned young man.  In his early 20’s he discovered a new reality, at the heart of the message of Christianity is a relationship with God.  Embracing a new and meaningful relationship with God through Jesus, Pastor Bruce poured himself into young adult, youth and singles’ ministries, eventually responding to a full-time call to ministry. 

Their son Chris Rzengota Graduated from Moody Bible Institute and is preparing for international ministry at Nyack College.  Their daughter Becca graduated from Youngstown State University.
