Pastors

Rev. Joe Hernandez has faithfully served as Senior Pastor of Fordham Manor Church since April 2012.

​Growing up on Bailey Avenue in the Bronx's Kingsbridge section, Pastor Joe learned to love the Lord through his parents' example. While at Franklin and Marshall College ('95), he deepened his faith through Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and discovered his calling to ministry.

Pastor Joe's connection with Fordham Manor Church (FMC) started in 1995. Since then, he's worn many hats—from Young Adults leader to deacon, elder, and Assistant Pastor (2009). With his Master of Divinity from Alliance Theological Seminary ('10), he combines solid Bible teaching with a genuine love for people.

At FMC, Joe met his wife, Jessica, a Co-Op City native. They've been partners in life and ministry since 2001. Joe's greatest joy is teaching the Bible and helping people of all ages come to know Jesus. As someone who grew up in the Bronx, he's passionate about serving his community and sharing God's love through preaching, teaching, and caring for others.
