The history of many prominent Christian ministries begins humbly, and Ruben Medel's is no exception. 

He first taught the Bible to a congregation in 1970 in his apartment home; 17 people attended the first service. Initially, there was no thought that the meetings would lead to the formation of a church. But the fledgling church family soon moved into facilities within two years, property on Commercial Avenue, was purchased for a permanent church site.

In 1996 the congregation – then known as La Obra Milagrosa Church – constructed a building that would house a total capacity of 5,000 people. This is still the present church today in San Antonio.

The Miracle Center Church Cotulla was formed amidst much of the same excitement that surrounded the early years of The Miracle Center Church San Antonio. The difference, of course, is that Pastor Medel is no longer an action-oriented, energetic pastor in his 20s – he’s an action-oriented, energetic pastor in his late-60s, with more than 38 years of experience guiding people into a closer relationship with the living God. 

The mission of The Miracle Center Church Cotulla stems from Pastor Medel's heart – to address and meet the specific needs of individual families. With a church family representing every age and ethnicity, we are eager to serve your family, provide you with opportunities to serve others and help you understand the living power of Jesus Christ.
