Shane Reginald O'Garro
Shane O’Garro is the Senior Pastor of The Church of Salvation in Boston, MA. Shane and his wife, Guerlande O’Garro, have a blended family of four children from prior relationships: Nayquan Ambrose, Cyan O’Garro, Shane O’Garro, and Jeromiah St. Louis. Shane and Guerlande married on October 28, 2009, and together they have three children: Ariella J. O’Garro, Reginald S. O’Garro, and Immanuela N. O’Garro. In 2017, Shane moved to San Diego with his wife and three children to open The Church of Salvation in 2018.
Boston-born and San Diego-based entrepreneur, author, and visionary Shane O’Garro grew up in one of the most challenging neighborhoods in Boston. By the age of 11, he had already witnessed street life, held a gun, and knew someone who was murdered. At the age of 30, his life changed dramatically. At a prayer meeting he was initially reluctant to attend, he stood against a wall and opened the Bible. At that moment, he heard God speak to him, fell to his knees, and gave his life over to Christ. Years later, God told him to move to San Diego to open The Church of Salvation. He is passionate about preaching, building up others, and making a difference in the world we live in.
As the visionary behind the impactful "For I Was" outreach program, Shane has championed initiatives aiding homeless individuals, successfully transitioning over 100 people into stable housing and founding the Homeless Information Team (H.I.T.) Squad. His advocacy for the homeless community extends beyond the church walls, earning him widespread recognition.
Beyond his church work, Shane serves as an influential member of the Mira Mesa Town Council, advocating for initiatives benefiting the local community, especially the homeless population.
Shane continues to shape the future landscape, leveraging his diverse expertise to propel positive change.
