"Double Adar: The Month of Latter Rain"
March 17, 2024
Ps. Nathan Kassas

Join us for Sunday Worship online with our Collide Worship Team and Ps. Nathan Kassas as they bring a word straight from God's heart to you right on time for your season and life. Tonight Ps. Nathan explains the Double Adar and how right now we have an Exodus occurring in three areas of our lives, challenging us to pursue the fulfillment of the Cross in our own lives and see Christ in everything. As we learn that favor with God cannot be obtained through human effort, we are challenged to see and make every area in our lives about the blessing of Jesus Christ. From the tribes of Israel to here and now, everything is the fulfillment of the Cross of Christ.

Natalie Kassas
Assoc. Pastor | Women's Pastor

Natalie Kassas serves as an associate pastor at TORCC NY alongside her husband Nathan. 

Natalie has been a dedicated minister all of her adult life and was a vital member of our performing arts mission trips to Malaysia, Kenya, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and New York. Natalie is a professional Hip-Hop dancer and teacher, and has performed for audiences of all ages and walks of life across the world, which she says has given her a unique insight and appreciation for people from every culture.

Before moving to New York City, She has had a career both as a professional performer and dancer with Next Level Generation Performing Arts Co. -- the company founded by Dr Robyn and Ps. Nathan Kassas. Natalie held the position of assistant choreographer and has performed in arenas, stadiums, festivals, concerts, as well as on television and video clips. She has trained with some of the world's leading choreographers and has even danced behind artists such as Chris Brown and Rihanna. She still uses her gift of dance in TORCC NY's productions, musicals, and showcases.

Upon moving to New York City, Natalie stepped into full time ministry with her husband Nathan. Over the years, Natalie has worked alongside our Senior Leaders to develop a culture of identity, strength, and beauty in each woman. She oversees the "Identify Her" Women's ministry, and has a passion to see each woman encouraged, and equipped to realize their identity that comes from Christ within them.

Natalie loves the performing arts, and now uses her gift to train the next generation. She loves to use dance whether in children's events, live performances, or productions to showcase the creative power of God.

As a married woman herself and the loving mother of three children, Natalie has a vision to see young women and married couples discover the riches in Christ that God intended for all aspects of their family relationships.  She is passionate about being a ‘hands-on’ leader and believes that good leadership is about being ‘reachable’ to the follower.  She is instrumental in counseling and mentoring couples and young mothers within our church.

Natalie uses her strong Biblical knowledge as the foundation of all she does. Natalie and her husband have three beautiful children -- Keren, Levi, and Zeke.

Natalie has completed our Leadership Training Module in the School Of Apostles and Prophets New York including these courses:

  • The Beginning of The End
  • Every Wind Of Doctrine

Tim Byrnes
Asst. Pastor | Men's Pastor

Tim has been apart of TORCC New York since it's conception and founding. He is a vital member and contributor to our mandate and culture. Tim Byrnes’ ministry gifts are pastor, teacher and leadership. Tim is also an avid historian with a particular aptitude for Early Church History.  He is also a capable apologist for all the essential foundational Christian doctrines that seem to have been tainted or ignored in most recent times in many Christian circles.  His passion for the early church writers and the revivalists of the 19th Century has influenced him in such a way that Tim has in many ways become a ‘Revivalist Advocate’.

Tim’s heart is as large as his theology.  A true shepherd, he is always ready to Guide and guard the Lord’s people in practical ways as well.  He is always looking for ways to assist men in the calling and responsibilities as priests to their homes.  For this reason Tim heads up ‘Strengthen Him’ - a ministry specifically for men, dealing with ‘manly’ issues.

Tim is a graduate of NYU with a Masters in Teaching in Music. He graduated with distinctions in the following courses of study in the School Of Apostles and Prophets (SOAP) New York:

  • The Great Doctrines of the Bible
  • Every Wind Of Doctrine
  • The Beginning of The End
  • The Theology Of Prophecy
  • Prophetic Foundations

  • Advancing In the Prophetic

  • Abiding in Christ
  • Joseph & Daniel Company
  • Ministering Spiritual Gifts

Sonia Jones
Asst. Pastor | Connect Pastor

Sonia is passionate about seeing the Body of Christ enter into a deeper level of relationship with Jesus, a relationship she fosters and relies upon every day. Growing up in a Christian home committed to their local church and knowledge of the Scriptures, Sonia realized she desired more than a religious experience. After moving to New York in 2009, Sonia was introduced to the Holy Spirit in a new and real way. She discovered a tangible connection with the living God not only as Lord but also as a loving Father. As a founding member of TORCC New York, Sonia continues to be a vital part of the running of Sunday Services, events, and developing connection with our church family. If you’re new to TORCC New York, you will no doubt recognize her smiling face and gentle voice. She ensures the door is never closed to those who knock.

Outside of her ministry role, Sonia is a respected and qualified teacher and adjudicator in the arts community of TORCC NY and New York City. She works in the Education Department of American Ballet Theatre, as a faculty member in the ABT JKO School, and is on its Artistic Board of Examiners. In 2016, Sonia founded the Sojo Performing Arts School in New York City which gives children  all ages the opportunity to learn ballet in an encouraging environment. She is determined to see the Arts redeemed and used as God originally intended, both in the Church and in the World.

Sonia is committed and genuine leader who faithfully serves in her fivefold ministry callings as Pastor, Teacher and Leader. She has successfully completed and graduated the following Leadership Training Modules in the School of Apostles and Prophets including:
