Dr. Ismael Miranda was born in Los Angeles, California, in the 1970s. He grew up in a deeply troubled environment marked by drugs and gang activity. By God’s grace, he was saved in the early 1990s, delivered from his past, and given a new purpose. In 2002, the Lord called him into pastoral ministry, and since early 2014, he has faithfully served as the pastor of God's Grace Reformed Church.

Dr. Miranda is a devoted husband and father of five adult children, all of whom also serve the Lord. A firm believer in expositional preaching, he is committed to rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
