Did you know? Joe was born in the only town in the world that has a monument glorifying an insect! Right there in the middle of the town of Enterprise is the Boll Weevil Monument - That's a story you'll have to get him to tell you. Over the years, Joe has served several United Methodist churches. In 1998, Joe and his wife Pam were assigned to the Mansfield area to plant a church that would become known as Community of Hope. His passion is to create a culturally relevant bridge that invites people to walk across and follow Christ. His animated preaching style will have you laughing as you consider the "life" that Christ offers. Joe and Pam are the parents of three adult children; Jenna, Lacye and Justin, and an apple of their eye grandchild...James.
