Listen to Pastor Michael Halfhill's personal testimony!
Joel Navarro was born in Spain and raised in Switzerland. At a very early age, God used Joel’s love and admiration for his father, who was a pastor and seminary teacher, to call him to ministry. What could be better, wondered a seven year old Joel, than to read books, break bread with people and share Jesus for a living?
Before moving to Lincoln, Pastor Joel worked as a pastor in Madrid, Spain, and Abilene and San Angelo, Texas. He also served as a teacher and missionary in Oregon and Hong Kong. Pastor Joel’s passion is to discover a Biblical picture of a loving and lovable God and to learn how that love can transform one’s daily living. He has degrees from the Adventist Seminary in Spain and France, and a Masters in Divinity from Andrews University. Pastor Joel has been serving the Piedmont Park SDA Church as a Family Life and Discipleship Pastor since 2022. To his ongoing amazement, he is married to the prettiest woman in town, Martha. Together, they have two well-loved, amazing girls.
Michelle Flores has lived in Lincoln for the last 9 years. Before that she called Texas, Louisiana, California, and Argentina home. Both of her parents are from Argentina, so she was lucky enough to spend a portion of her childhood there. She graduated from Southwestern Adventist University in 2012, with a degree in Elementary Education. She has taught in several SDA schools including Lincoln’s own College View Academy. Since the birth of her son, Adrian, she has taken a hiatus from the classroom and chosen to be a stay at home mother, which she loves dearly. Her husband Aaron, who grew up in this church, is also a teacher. Aside from their two year old son, they also have two cats, Meeko & Nani. She enjoys listening to audio books, trying out new recipes, gardening, traveling to new countries, and taking her rambunctious son on daily adventures. Michelle is ready to help out in whatever way she can!
