Pastor Joe Stephens and his family arrived in Jarrell, Texas in 2019 and began the exciting and daunting task of pioneering a new church here. Small town Texas is quite a change from the more than 12 years they spent working with gangs and teens with drug addictions as a pastor in South Central Los Angeles. Pastor Stephens admits it was quite a unique experience compared to shepherding a community church in Jarrell today. But he continues to use the same mechanisms to help families get back on their feet, both spiritually and relationally. “Coming to Jarrell is a big shift, but I feel we’re able to have a massive impact in a smaller community. There’s a huge amount of people moving into the community. They’re looking for a church, new friends and establishing a new life. It’s a great environment to build a community-based family church.”
Pastor Joe started his career in the early days pastoring in 1996 in El Paso, Texas and has even 4 thrilling years pioneering a church in the Nation of Greece.
