Joe and Kella Koehler

Joe, our Youth Pastor, has Michigan in his blood, having been born and raised in Berrien county. He graduated from Cornerstone University in 2016 with his BA, and soon after spent a year teaching 5th and 6th grade students in a Christian school in Benton Harbor, MI. His passion to see youth know and savor Jesus Christ next led him to care for and minister to the youth at this church, a church he has long attended. He is married to Kella, and together they have adopted multiple foster children out of a desire to extend the love of Jesus to those that cannot help themselves.

Joe enjoys most every sport, but especially hockey and tennis. He is always looking for books to read (especially Christian biography!), opportunities to take students out for a Coca-Cola, spending time with Kella, going on walks, or working on house projects!
