Country Charm Chapel Ministry

Pastor Helena Castaneda’s story is one of faith, perseverance, healing, and a deep passion for helping others.

​

Growing up in foster homes and facing many difficult life experiences from a very young age, Helena understands what it means to overcome hardship. One of the most painful moments of her childhood was losing her infant sister to domestic violence — a tragedy that deeply impacted her life and shaped her compassion for hurting people.

​

Throughout her life, Helena searched for hope, purpose, and truth. She attended many churches and explored different beliefs while trying to understand God’s plan for her life. During those difficult years, a psychologist and mentor named Dorothy helped her begin to see her value, reminding her that she was loved by God and created with purpose.

 

As an adult, Helena continued to carry a heart for people who were struggling, broken, lonely, or in need of encouragement. A few years ago, she fully dedicated her life to Christ, and she describes that decision as the turning point that transformed her life.

 

What began as a simple dream to connect with people through a small country market eventually grew into something much bigger — a calling into ministry.

 

Through Country Charm Chapel Ministry, Pastor Helena and her team serve others through prayer, Christian counseling, Bible studies, outreach support, and practical acts of kindness for families and individuals in need. Whether helping someone with groceries, supporting children, assisting with job applications, or simply praying with those who are hurting, their mission is to share the love of Jesus through compassion and service.

 

Pastor Helena believes that ministry is not just about preaching — it is about meeting people where they are, loving them well, and helping bring healing and hope into their lives.

​

Pastor Helena is married to her wonderful husband, Alex, and is truly blessed with her daughters Brittany, Kelsey, and Alexa, her son Michael, and four cherished grandchildren. Family, faith, compassion, and community are at the center of her ministry and calling.

​

Through Country Charm Chapel Ministry, Pastor Helena desires to create a welcoming place where people can experience hope, healing, fellowship, and the love of Jesus Christ.
