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.

Amanda is one of the founding members of our church and is on the leadership team of “Identify Her”, our women’s ministry, and also is the lead pastor of the “CityWatch” prayer ministry.  Amanda has a deep burden for seeing women reach their fullest potential and fulfill their God given destinies. She fully supports and propagates the concept of women in Marketplace Ministry and is on the Healing and Wholeness team.

She is a fully qualified Licensed Massage Therapist and has developed a unique series of movement classes called “Unwind”.  Amanda has founded her own company called The Movement Habit, where she works with clients and students through hands on work and educational seminars to give them tools to maximize their personal movement. 

She is currently developing a partnership with TORCC to create new exercise methods that are creative in expression, effective in transformation, but grounded in biblical truth. Amanda has a passion to see the fitness and dance communities embrace methods that are not rooted in soul expression, but true spiritual identity in Christ. It is for this reason that Amanda’s extensive knowledge of the body and it’s grand design equips her to work so effectively in the Healing and Wholeness department of the Transformation Ministry -- with a special emphasis on physical and emotional healing. 

We are excited for new techniques and tools that our team and Amanda are pioneering. Look out for instructionals, classes, and courses coming soon to TORCC TV. 

Amanda is also a prominent choreographer, dancer (primarily modern) and actress.  She earned her undergraduate degree from St Olaf College majoring in Fine Arts with concentrations in Dance and Theatre. Upon arrival in New York at the age of 20, soon thereafter, she trained at The Ailey School and then at Peridance as a member of the Peridance Training Ensemble.  She has had a textured career in the arts including performing in and choreographing for several Off-Broadway productions (musical theatre and concert dance) including that of her own dance company (co-founded with Virginia Pike), Skylight Dance Theatre as well as regional musical theatre productions and producing several outdoor dance events in Times Square.

Amanda is also a direct descendant of Rev William Brewster, the pastor of the Mayflower.  It is our great honor to have Amanda as part of TORCC NY’s leadership team fulfilling her part in Rev Brewster’s dream of one nation under God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
