Pastor Joe Carlson
Pastor Joe is a pastor who cares about living, showing, and speaking into the lives of others. He lives to know and love Jesus more, and help others discover who Jesus is. While Jesus was on earth, he showed a different kind of life than this world can offer: Pastor Joe strives to bring that same difference in the world around him. He is always up for a story or adventure: those moments are where God’s truth comes alive!
Pastor Joe does life with his wife Jennifer and two sons, Andrew and David. He loves being with his family, being outdoors, and coaching up his boys in whatever they are playing, especially soccer.
Pastor Joe graduated from Grace University, in Omaha, Nebraska, and completed his seminary education at Moody Graduate School in Chicago, Illinois.
I love meeting with people to hear their story and answer any questions they might have. I am usually in the office from 7:30 am-4 pm Tu- Fri. I am happy to meet with you in the evening as my schedule allows. Feel free to fill out the form or call me at 715-355-1617.
