Our Pastors

My name is Vincent Cannatello, lead pastor of Word of Christ International Church (WOCIC).  My wife Laura, myself and our family welcome you to our website and would like to tell you a little bit about us.

We are the proud parents of four children: Steve, Christian, Jonathan and Jaclyn.  We've been in Bradenton, Florida since 1997.  

Back in 1987, we received a prophetic message from our pastor that, one day, we would be in full time ministry. At the time, I was a senior technology advisor at a prominent New York investment bank and was rapidly moving through the ranks of a successful career. However, in 1997, the Holy Spirit spoke to us that "now is the time" of separation.

Responding to this call, we relocated to Bradenton.  Soon after arrival, we launched WOCIC at Haile Middle School on State Road 64.  After several years at Haile, we moved to a renovated building on State Road 70, where we grew into a thriving family of passionate believers. We now meet at "The Meeting Place", a building we purchased in 2007 and  recently expanded to serve as our current church home.

We would love for you to visit  us at one of our services and we look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your family.              

May the Lord keep you and bless you!  PV
