Cape Christian Welcomes New Middle School Pastor, Reinaldo Zayas
CAPE CORAL, Fla. (July 31, 2025) — Cape Christian is excited to welcome Reinaldo Zayas as its new middle school pastor. Zayas will lead Haven, Cape Christian’s ministry designed specifically for students in grades six through eight, offered during select weekend services.
Zayas has been part of the Cape Christian family for several years and is a graduate of the church’s Leadership College, where he developed a heart for ministry and hands-on experience serving students. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in ministerial leadership from Southeastern University in May 2024.
Haven exists to be a place where middle school students feel welcomed, seen, and encouraged to connect with God, with leaders who care, and with each other. Through engaging teaching, age-appropriate discussion, and fun shared experiences, students can feel a sense of belonging and grow in their faith.
“We are so excited to have Reinaldo leading our middle school ministry. He’s been an important part of our team for several years,” said lead pastor Cory Demmel. “He has a unique ability to connect with students and a passion to see them know the Bible and follow Jesus.”
Haven meets during select weekend services at Cape Christian and is open to all sixth- through eighth-grade students. Service times are Saturdays at 4 p.m. and Sundays at 9:45 a.m., 11:15 a.m., and 12:45 p.m.
