Lorenzo Croce

Lorenzo Croce serves as a Resident for Next Generation Ministries at Friends Church. Passionate about creating healthy spaces for students and equipping strong leaders, Lorenzo is committed to building a ministry where young people can grow in their faith and know they’re part of a greater family of believers striving toward the same goal.

Lorenzo’s call to ministry began with an internship where God used the experience to shape his character and affirm his path. That journey has now led him into residency, developing both spiritual and practical skills that will help him lead effectively.

His ministry is guided by values of honesty, vulnerability, grit, and perseverance, along with deep gratitude for Jesus and the opportunity to serve Him. Lorenzo hopes that everyone who encounters his ministry walks away feeling welcomed, valued, and connected to something bigger than themselves.

Lorenzo grew up at Friends Church, where his parents attended and where he works with his mom and sister on staff. And if you ever want to win him over, bring him a plate of French fries topped with garlic aioli and parmesan truffle.
