Pastor Joe grew up in Mt. Morris, a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania. There he and his family attended a wonderful Assemblies of God church called Mt. Morris Gospel Tabernacle.
After graduation from Waynesburg Central High School, Pastor Joe went to Waynesburg College on a football scholarship, where he majored in education. At Waynesburg College, Joe helped to start a Fellowship of Christian Athletes ministry and participated in other campus ministries. The more involved in ministry he became the more he knew Valley Forge Christian College was the place to be to prepare for the call of God on his life. After graduating from VFCC in 1985, Joe became the youth pastor at Faith Assembly of God in Hazleton, PA. In 1987 He assumed the youth pastor position at Trinity Assembly of God in West Chester, PA.

Since coming to Leesburg, Pastor Joe has led The Worship Center in remodeling its facilities, including the addition of the Family Life Center; an 11,000 sq. ft facility with multi-purpose room (gym), classrooms and kitchen. Pastor Joe also led The Worship Center to plant a church in Western Loudoun County. The Associate Pastor, Ray Cowell, and several Worship Center members were sent out in August of 2000 with prayer and support to establish what is now Western Loudoun Community Church. His passion is to preach the Word of God and to see people becoming fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Joe enjoys playing basketball, coaching his son’s sports teams, golf and a good book. He also believes the Pittsburgh Steelers are the greatest even when they don’t win. |
