About Joel

Joel Torres-Negron is a worship pastor, songwriter, and creative with a heart to see people encounter the presence and love of God. Born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, and raised in Tampa, Florida, Joel has been surrounded by faith and music his entire life. Growing up in a Christian home, he knew from an early age that God had placed a calling to ministry on his life.

Joel began singing in elementary school and started leading worship in his local church during high school. In 2013, he stepped into vocational ministry by leading worship for student ministries and has since served on staff at three churches, faithfully leading teams and congregations into the presence of God.

In addition to leading worship, Joel is passionate about songwriting, developing worship leaders, and creating visual media through photography and videography to inspire others toward Christ.

Joel and his wife, Taylor, currently live in West Michigan, with their five month old baby girl. He is a Worship Pastor, using his gifts to equip and empower others. His heart for worship is simple yet deep—to connect with the heart of God and create space for people to experience healing, restoration, hope, and freedom in His presence.
