Pastor Joe Manno has always had a heart for our youth. Pastor Joe left an aspiring acting career in Hollywood to become a children’s pastor in Orlando, Florida. From there, he co-founded the company, RTC Entertainment, which stands for Reaching The Children. That’s when he wrote a comedic, educational, and inspirational show called, A Fighting Chance. He performed that show in schools all across Central Florida, then he even took this show on the road all across the United States and to other countries reaching over 1,000,000 children ages 7-13 worldwide. Then in 2003 and 2004, He filled the Amway Center with 16,000 students from Orange and Seminole county.

Next, Pastor Joe wrote and starred in a CBS after school special called All in One where he won a daytime Emmy award. He’s written a children's book series that goes along with his tv show and the comedy show that teachers all over Central Florida have used in their classrooms. Pastor Joe has visited many public schools and inspired generations with his humor and uplifting faith based messages. Throughout his travels, Pastor Joe witnessed first hand the struggles and obstacles that many children are facing in the classroom today.

As a man of God, Pastor Joe has given his bondservant “Yes” and allows God to lead him, so in 2013 when God told Pastor Joe it was time to plant a church, he immediately responded to the call, and started Revelation Church. Through this ministry, Pastor Joe preaches God’s word every Sunday and Tuesday Evenings. He also leads Chapel at Revelation Christian Academy. He is passionate about God’s people and building God’s Kingdom. As Revelation Christian Academy has three pillars, Revelation Church has three pillars as well. Foundations - a Bible based series for new members, an Outreach ministry that takes to the streets regularly, and 7 Nights of Worship. 

Pastor Joe always knew, however, that his time working with kids was far from over, and in 2022 when God told him it was time to start the school, once again, Pastor Joe responded with a Yes! As Pastor Joe remains keen to listen and follow God’s lead, he knows that Revelation Christian Academy is a true Christ centered preparatory school with a mission to prepare children for life as Christian leaders ready to enter the business world, health profession, classrooms, and even our government as world changers and champions. He continually strives to empower students to stand on spiritual truths over worldly views, and instills in them the character to build their careers and commit to succeeding in the plan that God has for them. Pastor Joe wants the foundation of education at Revelation Christian Academy to be built on the solid ground of Jesus; making school fun, engaging, and safe again.
