Pastor C. Manuel Gonzalez has been working with inner city youth since 1997 and has been ministering since 2001. His unorthodox approach has helped hundreds of youth during his ministry.
One of his mentors is Pastor Bill Wilson of Metro Ministries a man who has pioneered inner city youth outreach.
Pastor Manuel has also helped in ministries like The ROC, a successful youth outreach center in Richmond VA.
In May of 2007 he felt called to Blackstone, VA to work with the community.
There he started a bilingual church to also reach out to the Hispanic Community.. Pastor Manuel is determined to reach all of the community and he believes that the youth of Nottoway County need a Youth Center to empower them. “In this ministry we believe that the youth are a very important part of this generation and we are trying to reach them with all we can offer.”
Pastor Manuel’s mission is to engage the youth of Nottoway County in a positive environment. Y.E.S. will be teaching things that will not only improve their school grades, but will improve their life. We invite you to stand with us today and help us make this vision come true!

We are planning a $1.5 million project for a Youth Community Center.
