Meet Pastor Joe and Anna Marshall Pastor Joe joined the United Methodist Church in 1987 and raised his family in a small rural church in North East Ohio. He received his call to ministry in 1995 and has served in the East Ohio Conference since 2000. A proud “Buckeye Born & Bread,” he relocated to New Mexico in 2018, where he now serves in the New Mexico General Conference . Alongside his wife, Anna, he has three adult children and six grandchildren. In Pastor Joe and Anna's free time, they enjoy hiking, exploring the landscapes and vibrant cultures of New Mexico. Pastor Joe relishes opportunities to perform on stage in the area's community theater. So keep a lookout! Pastor Joe firmly believes in the Truth of Scripture—that God's love and forgiveness are for all people, and his desire is that everyone comes to know the Real Jesus. Romans 8:31-39 reminds us that nothing separates us from the Love of God, emphasizing that there is truly nothing we can do to cause God to love us less. Nothing. As imperfect people, we are all longing for the perfect love that only God provides, and Pastor Joe and Anna warmly welcome you to experience that love through worship and community at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, here in the Northeast Heights of Albuquerque, NM.
