Administrative Pastor
Joe was quite literally “called” into ministry on a sunny March afternoon when Pastor Jonathan telephoned and asked him to consider becoming the new Elim Grace pastoral apprentice in January of 2019.   In April, 2020  Joe married the amazing worship leader, psalmist, and speech pathologist Julia.  She is the woman of his dreams and waking. They have two beautiful daughters.  Joe likes to write biographies of himself on this website, dry basements and enjoying life in the service of Jesus Christ.
