Pastor Joe Cotroneo

Born and raised just outside of Orlando, Florida, Joe got into a lot of things as a teenager that brought his life down. Thankfully, at about 15 years of age he had the opportunity to hear the gospel for the first time. After hearing about the life changing power of Christ, Joe accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

Soon after he got saved, Joe knew that he wanted to give his whole life back to God. He felt that this was a logical and proper response since God had given up His life for Joe. It wasn’t much longer before he knew that God was calling him into full time ministry

After graduating from high school, and convinced that God wanted him to become a pastor, Joe attended Trinity Baptist College for four years. There he studied and prepared for the ministry.

During his freshman year of college Joe met his wife, Rebekah. He says that at the first sight of Bekah his heart was stolen away. They began to date, and three years later, in the summer before his senior year, they were married.

Once Joe graduated from Trinity Baptist College, he came to serve on the staff here at Fellowship Baptist Church. We truly enjoy his service as our youth pastor.
