Even before Mellado joined Willow Creek Association (WCA) in 1992, he was already intrigued with the vibrant church that had created the nonprofit. Mellado's vision of strong leadership, and common goals has brought WCA to unprecedented success. With a mind for business, and a passion for the church Mellado shows us there's always room for innovation.
