WHO WE ARE

Pastors Mark and Wanda Novales planted CityReach Church Philly in 2013. He has served as a Major in the US Army for twenty-seven years. Pastor Mark is a graduate of Excelsior College and received his M.Div from Biblical Seminary. Wanda is the founder and CEO of Pan-American Academy Charter School in Philadelphia and has served as a teacher/principal/CEO for over 22 years. They are the proud parents of two wonderful sons, Mark and Joseph. Their family has been blessed to experience ministry as a family!

Pastor Mark felt God’s call to plant a church while in seminary. The Holy Spirit confirmed that call in a meeting at his home with Pastor Brian in the fall of 2012. After taking many steps of faith, they have experienced God’s ability to revive, restore, and exceed dreams. Their church continues to see many miracles of transformation, change, liberation, and freedom occur in Philly. Today, great leaders are being birthed out of their church and great churches will soon follow. To God be all of the Glory!
