Pastor Manuel Magana grew up in San Antonio, TX. He is thankful for the Christian home he was raised in. From the time he was born the Word of God was being taught to him. Although he grew up in a Christian home, school and church, he found himself not living the life he knew God called him to. One day after his high school gradation he found himself confused and lacking direction. He realized he needed to do what he had been taught throughout his childhood; he called out to God. Weeks later, led by God, he found himself attending Bible School with a heart fully surrendered to God's will. He graduated from Texas Bible Institute in 2004 and the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2008.  He served as a Youth Pastor for 11 years helping lead and guide teenagers into a relationship with Jesus Christ. It was in 2016 he felt the call of God to plant a church that would be a place for all people to be loved and help love others. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the help of many amazing individuals, Experience Church is now a reality!
