THE AUTHOR

Joel Hutchison is passionate about creating synergy and equipping church leaders for twenty-first-century ministry. His catalytic gifts began to surface in his mid-twenties when he, with his wife Sharon, launched and for five years operated a residential building company in their hometown of Sand Springs, Oklahoma.

Since his call to ministry, Joel has planted two churches. As a pastor of both small- and mid-sized congregations, he understands “the thrill of success and the agony of defeat” for church leaders. Additionally, he served as Area Administrator for the Central California Churches of God and as the Director of Church Multiplication for the Pacific Southwest District of The Wesleyan Church.

Along with certification training from New Church Specialties and the Society for Church Consulting, Joel holds an MA in pastoral ministries with an area of concentration in church development from the C.P. Haggard Graduate School of Theology at Azusa Pacific University. He and Sharon celebrate three grown children and seven beautiful grandchildren.
