Pedro & Maria Maldonado Jr.
Founding Pastors
Since 1980, Pastor Pedro Maldonado and his wife Lady Maria served as the founding Pastors of Chosen 2 Conquer International Ministries in Columbia, South Carolina. As committed and loving pastors, C2C was their daily focus and passion! However, on February 23, 2023 our beloved Pastor Pedro Maldonado, unexpectedly went home to be with the Lord. Pastor Maria Maldonado, now carries the torch to continue moving our congregation forward to fulfill the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations!
Pastor Pedro was born in Buffalo, New York and Lady Maria was born in Puerto Rico, but raised in New York City. They received "on the job" training for ministry in the inner-city streets of Manhattan, New York at Soul Saving Station for Every Nation. Commissioned and appointed along with the love of her life, Pastor Pedro, Pastor Maria as shepherds for God’s people, Pastor Maria continues their legacy of faith through C2C’s mission to serve as a healing for a hurting world!
Pastor Maria resides in Columbia, SC and is the proud mother of 5 children and 14 grandchildren.
