About Joseph Poirier, “JP”
Jp serves as the Executive Pastor at Skycrest Community Church, where he is dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel, equipping the next generation, and fostering a culture of discipleship and spiritual growth. A devoted follower of Jesus Christ, he is humbled and honored to serve in ministry—a calling he received by God’s grace and embraced with wholehearted surrender.
His faith journey began at the age of 13 when he accepted Christ as his Savior. At 16, during a youth service led by his mentor JJ Gawlowicz, he experienced a defining moment that deepened his understanding of what it means to truly follow Jesus. That night sparked a lifelong commitment to Christ-centered living. A few years later, while attending a summer camp in South Carolina, he felt a clear and powerful call into ministry. In full surrender, he asked God to use his life in whatever way He saw fit—an ongoing prayer that continues to guide his path.
Jp holds a Bachelor’s degree in Bible from Clarks Summit University and a Master of Ministry from Bible Baptist Seminary. He spent 14 years serving in youth ministry, where he developed a passion for guiding young people in their faith journeys and preparing them for a lifetime of discipleship. His leadership focuses on church operations, technical sound, and A/V, ensuring the ministry’s mission is supported both spiritually and practically.
Alongside him in life and ministry is his wife, Melanie—a passionate woman of God who shares his heart for serving others. Together, they are raising two amazing children and living out their family mission: “Love God and Love People.” United in purpose and vision, they believe their marriage and ministry are part of something far greater than themselves.
For Jp, ministry is not simply a role—it is a sacred calling, a lifelong pursuit, and a daily privilege.
