Joseph Cruz Menchaca

Joseph is a pastoral intern at Mission Church in Tucson, Arizona—a community created as a refuge for the spiritually wounded and the spiritually curious. He is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Missional Theology through the Missional Training Center, while also serving in various local and denominational leadership roles across the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA) and the Reformed Church in America (RCA). Deeply passionate about bridging generational, cultural, and religious divides, Cruz facilitates men’s mental health groups and leads book clubs that explore gospel-centered frameworks within secular contexts. His ministry is shaped by a calling to share the restorative hope of Christ, especially in unexpected places. In his free time, Cruz enjoys backpacking, hiking, cultivating online communities, and playing tabletop games.
