Marios Ellinas grew up on the island of Cyprus, where he served as a Green Beret in the Cypriot Special Forces. At the age of twenty, he moved
to the U.S. and enrolled in college with the intent of pursuing law. Marios committed his life to Christ during his first year of college. He
then underwent a divinely-prescribed transformation process that completely altered his plans and led him to full-time ministry. Marios is
enjoying a rich life and fruitful service, due to his supportive family, his outstanding mentors, his diverse cultural background, and above
all, his continual encounters with the God of the Bible.
Marios and his wife, Danielle, serve as the lead pastors of Valley Shore Assembly of God, a community of passionate followers of Christ.
Since 2006, they have been experiencing a spiritual renewal, through which lives are continually being transformed by the resurrection power
of Jesus.
