About

---

With over 25 years of ministerial experience, our founder Chaplain J. Manuel Martinez has learned to transition and adapt in different settings.  From serving in various pastoral roles, to providing chaplaincy services to the City of Tracy, he has become a resource to faith based organizations in Southern Nevada. By responding to local community calls, visiting hospitals, and providing faith based classes inside our local prisons and jails, Nueva Vida Ministries brings the chapel to the community.  Along with experience, Chaplain Martinez also holds degrees in Theology, Pastoral Studies, and Human Services Counseling with an emphasis in Addiction and Recovery.
