Pastor Joe and his family accepted the call to pastor MBC in May of 2002. The Nogalski’s are happy and excited about being part of this Church during this special time of growth. The Nogalski’s fully believe that this is the place God has them to finish out their ministry. Pastor Joe comes to MBC from Dahlgren, IL. Bro. Joe pastored for five years in Dahlgren and saw great growth. Before pastoring in Dahlgren, Bro. Joe pastored Pleasant Valley Baptist in Grantsburg, IL. Pleasant Valley was the Nogalski’s first pastorate where they learned much about the ministry. Pastor Joe was called to the ministry when he was 16 years of age. Bro. Joe did not grow up in a Christian family but heard the gospel from the testimony of his brother Bob who is now also pastoring. Bro. Joe grew up in a housing project in Detroit, Michigan. Upon completion of high school, Bro. Joe attended Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO. Bro. Joe has been in the ministry in different capacities since graduating in the spring of 1985. While pastoring in Dahlgren, IL Bro. Joe earned his Master of Divinity from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. Pastor Joe’s wife Joyce also graduated from Baptist Bible College with a degree in children’s ministries. Bro. Joe and Joyce have two children, Janay 15 , and Joey is 14. |
