WHO WE ARE

GABRIEL MENCHACA—Christ-centered, mission driven and committed to following Jesus. After more than a decade of serving as missionaries in Europe, we came back to the USA to establish new communities of Believers (plant churches), strengthen and support existing ministries. We firmly believe in Kingdom partnership and are excited to join in the work God is already doing.

WHERE WE’RE GOING

We planted New Wave Los Angeles in 2022, and our vision has grown. In October of 2025 New Wave merged with LEV CHURCH. It’s a new chapter, connect with us! Good Fight Culture Co is a registered non-profit religious organization growing in 2026.

Assesment | Stadia Church Planting

Stadia’s Church Planting Assessment Team recommends that Gabriel and Vanessa Menchaca pursue leadership in the planting of a new church. They have the calling, competencies, capacity and contextual fit necessary to plant a church. They are two very strong and gifted leaders. Their marital strength, their personal spiritual journey, and their grit will be an asset as they plant.
