Pastor Jean Elise Durandisse leads one of the most active Haitian Methodist congregations on the West Coast of the United States. Based in San Diego, California, his ministry serves the growing Haitian diaspora community while maintaining deep ties to Léogâne, Haiti.
Through his work, Pastor Jean Elise has created a spiritual home for Haitian families navigating life far from their homeland. His services are held in Haitian Creole and French, keeping the language and culture alive for younger generations born in America.
His ministry extends beyond Sunday services — organizing community gatherings, cultural celebrations, and charitable drives that send support back to Haiti. He remains a living link between the Durandisse family's Haitian roots and its American branches.
