StartCHURCH EXECUTIVE TEAM
Founders

Raul and his wife Genel bring unique voices into the church planting arena. Their journey began in the 1990s when they successfully launched a new church that Raul and his parents built from the ground up. This is the church Raul and Genel would later serve as senior pastors over for many years.
During their later years of pastoring, God inspired Raul and Genel to pursue a different type of ministry: equipping pastors and ministry leaders with the legal knowledge necessary to build life-changing churches and organizations. Since this calling 20 years ago, Raul and Genel have taught thousands of pastors and church leaders how to start right and stay right.
Raul leads a growing staff that has helped plant thousands of churches. He has also authored over 80 effective manuals to help churches and ministries stay compliant with the IRS, and he has spearheaded the creation of cloud-based software programs and StartCHURCH online university. His passion is to empower pastors and ministry leaders to protect what God has called them to lead.
Raul and Genel have five children and live in the metro Atlanta area. When they are not helping plant churches, they enjoy spending time at their farm where they ride horses and raise cattle, swine, sheep, and chickens, implementing sustainable practices.
