Rossana and her husband Chris, moved to Matthews, North Carolina in September 2021 to be closer to family and for Chris’ job. Before moving to the South, they lived in New Jersey for over 20 years, where they raised their two sons, Ian and Noah, now in their early 20s.

Rossana worked at Morgan Stanley, a global financial firm in NYC as a VP in Corporate Technology before serving as the Director of Operations for Princeton Alliance Church in Princeton, New Jersey for three and a half years. She also served as a Global Missions Team Leader, leading mission trips to Southeast Asia during her time at Princeton Alliance Church.

Growing up in the Philippines, Rossana came to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior in her early teens. It was then her desire to know and study God’s Word started and continues to this day. Before joining Five Stones, she graduated from the School of Ministry program with The Alliance Center for Leadership Development. It is a two-year program consisting of Bible, theology, and ministry leadership courses. She is excited to be serving at Five Stones and being able to apply what she learned from the program. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Rossana loves to travel with her family (which now includes a daughter-in-law) and enjoys prayer walks with her husband.
