Joel comes to YFC with a wide breadth of experience. As a lawyer, Joel has spent the last 7 years managing a team of as many as 26 legal professionals in the for-profit sector. At the same time, he has been studying at Tyndale Seminary. He is on the verge of completing a master’s degree in theological studies with a growing sense of the call to follow the Lord into vocational ministry. Joel is a devoted husband and father to two pre-teens and has been serving in numerous capacities within his home church. In these major facets of his life, Joel has been honing his skills in day-to-day operations, management, recruitment, and personnel decisions, and in faith-integrating, relational, practical, and Christ-centered ministry. Joel’s depth of experience positions him well for leading YFC London, and we are excited about the road ahead. 

YFC London would like to thank James Coolidge for his faithful and dedicated leadership for our organization, especially over the last several months as we’ve worked together during this transitional time. He has proven himself to be a committed and inspirational leader with compassion for youth and a deep sense of justice for the vulnerable. We wish him well in the next chapter of his life. 

Welcome Joel as you start your new role as Executive Director. We are excited to see what God has in store for YFC in the years to come. 

Thank you for your continued prayer and support of YFC London.
