About the Author
Pastor Joe is husband to Anita, father to Robbie, pastor of Genesis, leader of the fshbwl team (www.fshbwl.com), and is actively involved in the Capitol Hill neighborhood where he lives.
Joe and Anita met in January of 1998 as Joe began a Christian education internship at Vineyard of Faith Ministry in Windsor, CA. The two became friends and grew close while working together on various youth ministry events. They were married in June of 2001. In September of 2006, their son Robbie was born in Denver, Colorado.
Between the wedding and Robbie's birth, Joe and Anita spent three years in St. Louis, Missouri so Joe could attend Concordia Seminary. During his Seminary years, Joe's heart for church planting shifted from a suburban to an urban setting. He helped cast the vision for the restart of an urban congregation near the Saint Louis University Medical Campus and worked at Lutheran Hour Ministries where he developed the online community www.re-yourlife.com. Seminary concluded with an internship at Peace with Christ Lutheran Church in Aurora, CO who then called him to plant Genesis. Joe was ordained on July 16, 2006.
Joe shares his thoughts on faith, family, ministry, and life at his personal blog, www.joeburnham.com. |
