Saint Louis New Testament Church Leadership

Saint Louis New Testament Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.

Melissa Torres Arenz

Apostle Prophet/Senior Pastor


Apostle Melissa was ordained on July 9, 2007, under Saint Louis New Testament Church, after four years of training by Apostle Paul Brandt. She was also ordained on September 3, 2010, under Mission of Light Ministries, the traveling ministry under Apostle Paul Brandt. She has been trained as an Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, and Teacher. While attending Saint Louis New Testament Church, she served as Assistant Pastor, Home Group Leader, and Traveling Minister where she helped teach and train the local church members to preach, teach and operate in the Gifts of the Spirit. Pastor Melissa has been invited to speak at revival meetings, church conferences, and pastors’ meetings throughout the United States, Germany, and Mexico.

The Holy Spirit operates through her in the gifts of healing, deliverance, prophecy, and teaching.

Her desire is to see everyone develop their relationship with the Lord. By doing so, people will begin to see their full potential in Christ and fulfill the call of God in their lives. This is where victorious living starts. Pastor Melissa has served as the Associate Pastor since 2010 and became the Senior Pastor in February 2015 to continue the vision.
