The Badaraco Family
Isaac Badaraco is the pastor of One Life Christian Church in Baldwin, NY. A native of Long Island, raised in Hempstead, NY, Isaac has a passion to see disciples made in underserved neighborhoods like the one he grew up in. A graduate of Bentley University, Isaac continues to work in the corporate arena while serving as Lead Pastor at One Life. His seminary training was done at Crossroads Bible Institute, formerly in Daytona, FL.  In 2017, Isaac and Diorca received church planting training through the MyBlvd organization, formerly a part of the North American Mission Board. He continues as a local missionary through MyBlvd. Isaac was ordained into pastoral ministry in 2018 while serving as assistant pastor at Maranatha Christian Center. He and his wife, Diorca planted The Gathering Church in Hempstead, NY in July 2018, which would merge with One Life in August 2021.

Isaac  and his wife, Diorca, have been married since 2011, and they have two "littles" and a bonus daughter: Aliana, Ava, and Genesis.  The Badaracos’ vision is seeing the kingdom of God expanded in all areas, and for all people. Isaac’s gifting is apostolic and has a heart for seeing churches planted all over Long Island. Their dream is to see the local church be a beacon in the local community, but also to be a place that helps meet the needs of the neighbors surrounding it.
 
Isaac’s favorite verse is: Matthew 28:19 -- Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in  the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
 
Diorca’s favorite verse is: Song of Solomon 2:1 -  I am a rose of Sharon,  a lily of the valleys.
