Joe Stecz

May 12, 2017 By

Joe was born and raised in Phoenixville, Pa., just outside Valley Forge National Park – a suburb of Philadelphia.  He attended Millersville University and began his commercial insurance career when he was invited to attend a local church by a friend.  He met his wife and best friend, Betsy, after playing volleyball at the church ice cream social in 1991. They were married in October 1992 and eventually moved to King of Prussia, Pa.  Joe completed his master’s degree at Cairn University and comes to us after working for over 13 years in pastoral ministry.

Joe says, “My purpose in life is to experience God’s presence, faithfully allowing God to use me as a transformational influence,inspiring others to maximize their God-given potential.” His passion comes Jeremiah 9:23-24; Romans 12:1-2; John 10:10. Nothing compares he says to living with purpose, on purpose and helping others do the same.

Joe and Betsy live in Mount Joy. They have two grown children; a daughter and son-in-law who live in Georgia and a son who lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia. In his spare time, Joe enjoys exercising, watching sports (especially Eagles football and NCAA basketball), reading, listening to music, going to the beach, and spending time with his family.

Email him at joe@hopechurchonline.org for any questions or to set up an appointment to meet with him.

INTERNALLY STRONG / EXTERNALLY FOCUSED

When we say Internally Strong this is what we mean:
Moving closer to Jesus  which happens as we seek to: know Him and His Word, be transformed into His likeness, do what we are made by Him to do and connect with others in meaningful relationships in the way He designed us.

When we say Externally Focused this is what we mean:
Engaging others around us, locally, regionally and globally in personal, small group and corporate action to bring the whole Gospel to the whole person.
