Thank You God s Treasure Chest There is not a point that needs to be dwelt upon more earnestly, repeated more frequently, or established more firmly in the minds of all than the impossibility of fallen man meriting anything by his own best good works. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Faith and Works, pg Sabbath August 5, :45 pm Worship Service: Where is God in the Darkness? 2:00 pm Session: "He Told Me Everything I Did" About Marlene Rodriguez Pastor Marlene Rodriguez was born in San Salvador, El Salvador, but immigrated to the United States at an early age. She grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area with her two sisters and one brother. Her parents were committed to their children receiving an Adventist Christian education, though with limited means it was certainly a challenge. Marlene and her siblings graduated from San Francisco Junior Academy as well as Monterey Bay Academy. Marlene later would receive her Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish and International Communication from Pacific Union College. Marlene Rodriguez worked in a variety of settings and roles including as translator/interpreter for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Spain, as an outreach worker for a free clinic focusing on issues of AIDS and HIV, as U.S. citizenship outreach coordinator helping immigrant families, as a social worker case manager working with over 50 families at a local community center, and as a marketing coordinator for a boot company to name just a few. These employment experiences have given her a great appreciation of service and what it means to care for people. In 2009, Marlene felt called to continue her education by enrolling in the Master of Divinity program at San Francisco Theological Seminary in order to pursue a career in chaplain ministries. She graduated with her masters in 2012 and subsequently completed four units of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) after a one-year resident internship. It was during this time that she felt God moving on her heart to explore pastoral ministry in a local church context. In 2013, she received the opportunity to serve as a volunteer pastor at the Pleasant Hill Adventist Church working under the supervision of Dr. Jim Lorenz, who is currently the ministerial director for the Northern California Conference. In 2017, Marlene felt God telling her to become a member and volunteer at the Concord International Adventist Church, where she currently serves as an associate pastor, alongside her husband and the lead Pastor Pedro Trinidad. Marlene Rodriguez is married to her best friend, Marc Woodson, an ordained minister who currently serves as executive secretary for the Northern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Together they are raising "Ari" (short for Aristotle), their lovable 90-pound Bernese Mountain-Dog.
