JOE SIKES
PASTOR
Pastor Joe Sikes answered the call to ministry at the age of 16 and began faithfully serving the Lord from a young age. In 2001, he married his beloved wife, Amanda Sikes. He later accepted his first full-time pastoral position at the age of 22. For the past 24 years, Pastor Joe has faithfully preached and taught the Word of God with a heart for helping others grow in their relationship with Christ.
Throughout his years in ministry, Pastor Joe’s mission has remained the same: to share God’s truth with integrity, encourage spiritual growth, and help others develop a deeper, more personal walk with Christ.
Known for his compassionate leadership and genuine heart for people, Pastor Joe is deeply devoted to both his faith and his family. He shared a beautiful life and ministry with Amanda until her passing in December of 2025. Together, they were blessed with seven children. Spending time with his family remains one of his greatest joys and a constant source of strength and encouragement.
Whether preaching from the pulpit or spending time with others, Pastor Joe’s life is centered on faith, family, and service. He is passionate about sharing the hope of the Gospel, encouraging others in their walk with Christ, and helping people experience the life-changing love and grace of Jesus Christ.
