MEET OUR PASTORS TONY & ROZ GUADAGNINO
Pastor Tony Guadagnino was born in Easton, Pennsylvania, and moved to South Florida at the age of four with his family. He is the youngest child in a family of two boys and two girls, and his siblings are all serving God and involved in ministry at their churches. Pastor Guadagnino gave his life to Jesus Christ at the tender age of eight at Abundant Life Christian Center in Margate, Florida, under the leadership of Pastor Woody Thompson. After high school, he worked for a burglar alarm company for 12 years and was promoted from a warehouse helper to a branch manager before leaving to enter the full-time ministry. When he left the alarm company in 1997, he began serving as an assistant pastor alongside his father, Dr. Joseph Guadagnino. Pastor Tony married Rosalind on June 14th, 1997 and they were blessed with two beautiful children, Anthony Jr., who graduated from Bradley University in May 2020, and Marrina, a Sargent in the United States Army before her passing in June 2024. Pastor Tony joined the Deerfield Beach Christian Ministerial Association in 1997, which consists of senior pastors at ten local churches. In September 2003, Pastor Tony took the position of senior pastor at Christian Love Fellowship Church in Deerfield Beach, Florida. In October of 2015, Pastor Tony Guadagnino was asked by the Mayor of Deerfield Beach to sit on the board of directors at the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority (DBHA) to assist with the social crisis of affordable housing in the city of Deerfield Beach. He is currently the vice chairman of the board. Pastor Tony Guadagnino holds a Master of Divinity degree from South Florida Bible College & Theological Seminary and graduated in May of 2022. In January 2018, Pastor Tony and Rosalind organized and founded Caring Hands of Deerfield Beach, a 501 C3, Community Development Corporation, which later was changed to Madres Closet. His philosophy is to reach the world one child, one student, and one family at a time. His favorite quotes are “the only thing constant is change” and “don’t quit, don’t give up, and don’t give in.” Pastor Tony and Rosalind have the heart to prepare God’s people to do the work of the ministry, so that the entire Body of Christ will be blessed, knowledgeable, and on fire for the things of God. As of September 01, 2024, we have relocated to our new address: In September of 2024 we also established Madres Closet in honor of our beloved daughter Marrina Guadagnino and grandson Baby G. |
