Joel is the husband to Estie and father to Peytra, Emmy and Asher. He attended Multnomah Seminary 25 years ago, and has been serving in a variety of ministry roles throughout the years. In the Spring of 2018, Joel and Estie started dreaming and praying specifically about church planting and how God might use them to grow His kingdom. After completing a church planting residency with Soma Spokane, the beginning stages of establishing a new gospel centered work in the city of Coeur d’Alene started. Joel is the lead planter and preaching pastor with Doxa. He enjoys pickleball, reading good books, climbing, and spending time outdoors and with his family.
