Lead Pastors
Daniel and Adoniah Wrage
Daniel was born and raised here on the Central Coast. He grew up in a conservative upbringing with limited to no experience with the Holy Spirit until 2010 when he had a radical encounter with God that forever marked his life. The gifts of the Holy Spirit opened up, particularly the gifts of healing and prophecy. He started in ministry at New life church in Pismo Beach where he was Junior High interim pastor from 2014-2015. In 2015-2022, he pastored at Pearl Chapel. His heart is to see people have life-changing encounters with God, and for the lost to come into the kingdom while bringing the Holy Spirit in and outside of the four walls of the church.
Adoniah is a Southern California native. She grew up in Chino, where her family ran a homeless ministry that helped feed the less fortunate families in the area. Due to her upbringing, she grew a heart for serving and taking care of the poor. She then went on to Vanguard University seeking a deeper relationship with the Lord. As she finished her schooling, she then moved up to the Central Coast in 2020. Her heart is to see the pure presence of God and heaven come to earth.
They got married in September of 2021. Together they love being with family, going to the beach, and traveling. They feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing church community here at the Five Cities Vineyard.
