Paul Maranino

Elder

Paul is glad to be involved in fellowship at LWC over these past 8 years. His training began growing up on the streets of Paterson. In his early 20s, Jesus “knocked me down”,
and Paul has been pursuing Him ever since. Paul has his family, including his wife and partner, Dee, for over 40 years now, and his other partner - his daughter Rachel, along with his fast growing grandson, Beau, and everyone who comes along with them. They love to go to the beach and eat together, among other things. Paul loves music of many kinds (Rich Mullins is an all time favorite) and is a voracious reader. A few, among many, favorite authors are A.W. Tozer, Francis Chan, Max Lucado, Neil Peart, and Ted Dekker.
