Joe Vaughn is a graduate of Bob Jones University, with a Bachelor’s Degree in History. He was saved at an early age at his parents’ bedside. During his years in college the Lord called him into full time ministry; after working at a Christian camp in Alaska for three summers, the Lord burdened his heart especially for Youth Ministry.

He has worked in various aspects of the ministry and served for a year as Assistant to Pastor Ted McClellan in the Youth Department. He became the full time Youth Pastor in July of 2006. He is currently pursuing the Master of Divinity degree from Bob Jones Seminary. Pastor Joe and his wife Kimberly, have been married since 2006. Their son, Jack, was born in October of 2009.

The burden of the Vaughns' hearts is to see teens and children reached for Christ and to help them grow into godly leaders for their generation.
