Introducing Joel Cooper

We are pleased to announce Joel Cooper has been employed as our newest staff member.

The appointment of Joel is endorsed by Senior Leadership, and we are excited to have him on board. Joel comes onto the team to replace Ross Jones in the Property Management role, as well as steps into the accountancy role, which Sam Lienert has been holding since Cathy Dunn retired in 2018. Joel is the guy to be in touch with for any room bookings at Hania Street either in the Worship Centre or Life Centre.

Kia ora! My name is Joel and I've been part of The Street Church for over five years now! I am part of the leadership team for our Night community as the Local Lead for Worship.

Growing up 'underneath the keyboard' (as my mother often reminds me) is a great representation of both my lifelong involvement in the church and with Jesus, but also a picture of my love of music. I grew up between Auckland and Whanganui, but moved to Wellington early in 2020 to study music for film at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University. Five years later, I have finished my masters in the same subject, and continue to use my love for music and creativity in many facets of my life. I passionately love Jesus, my family (my parents, my twin brothers + wives and children, and my little sister), and my wider Street Church family.
