Jacqueline Arellano

Jacqueline Arellano is a dedicated pastor, church planter, teacher, and public speaker who has passionately served in full-time ministry alongside her husband, Obe Arellano, since their marriage 18 years ago. As a wife, mother, grandmother, and missionary, Jacqueline lives out her God-given purpose of making disciples and empowering women to embrace the mission they were created for. Her favorite gift—hospitality—serves as a cornerstone of her ministry, where she believes the table becomes a powerful space for transformation, impacting one disciple at a time.

Jacqueline’s ministry journey has been marked by roles as a missionary, church planter, and pastor. Today, she serves as the Executive Director of Exponential Español, an organization she and her husband launched in 2020 to equip and inspire church leaders across the Spanish-speaking world. Her passion for empowering others is evident in every area of her work, particularly in her commitment to helping women step boldly into their God-given calling.

When not leading or serving, Jacqueline finds joy in the beauty of nature, heartfelt conversations about Jesus and His love, and the simple wonders of family life. She delights in her grandchildren’s curiosity, her son’s humor, bicycling, and walking hand-in-hand with her husband, Obe. Through it all, Jacqueline remains a faithful steward of her calling, continuing to impact lives for the glory of God.
