Our Team

Lead pastor

I'm Pastor Vanna In, lead pastor at The Pardoned. My life is a testament to God's transformative forgiveness, born from my journey from a refugee child to a pardoned ex-gang member.

My wife, Marly, our children, Arun, Jeevin, and Thanny, and our church community are my everything. Marly, my partner in life and ministry, contributes her wisdom and strength to our mission.

Fresno, our home since 1988, holds our heart. Despite its challenges, we see its beautiful potential and gladly serve the city we live in and love. At The Pardoned, we're committed to spreading God's love and forgiveness in our community. I want to personally invite you to join us at The Pardoned.

Blessings,

Pastor Vanna In
