Faith and Mental Health
Dr. Joe McGinnis
Hey there, I’m Dr. Joe McGinnis. I’m a pastor, counselor, and teacher who has spent nearly three decades helping people pursue spiritual and emotional health. As the Executive Pastor of Fellowship City Church and with a PhD in Developmental Psychology, my heart beats for one mission… to bridge the gap between faith and mental health so that people can live with freedom, clarity, and purpose.
My journey has been shaped by real life, marked by 29 years of marriage, raising six children, service in the US Army National Guard, leading in ministry, counseling individuals and couples, and navigating through seasons that tested both my faith and endurance. My story isn’t just about what I’ve studied; it’s about what I’ve lived.
Drawing from a unique blend of biblical truth, psychological insight, and practical application, I help people understand themselves, heal from the past, and grow into who God designed them to be. Whether through writing, speaking, or coaching, my message is simple:
“Lasting transformation begins when faith renews the mind.”
When I’m not preaching, teaching, or counseling, you’ll find me outdoors fishing, hiking, or camping… living life with my family and reminding others that growth, like faith, is a lifelong journey.
