Pastor
Joe Payne has been our Senior Pastor
since January
1, 2001, when he came to us after pastoring for several
years in Missouri. Pastor Joe
looks for ways to creatively
connect the teachings of the Bible to our daily lives
in a relevant and compelling manner. He believes that God passionately seeks to be united
with people, and that belief comes across not only in the content of his teachings
but also in his presentation. He has been preaching since
1988, and was ordained on August 3, 1989, two days before his
marriage to Melonie. Joe holds a Masters Degree in Theology.
On April 24, 1996, he and Melonie were blessed with the arrival of their first child, Moriah. Their second child, Josiah, was born on October 18, 2001. In addition to serving the church in several capacities, Melonie is also a real estate agent with Watson's Realty.
