Greetings!
My name is Joel Fitzgerald, and it is a joy to pastor at Albion First UMC. I have been in ministry for a dozen years, serving churches in Grand Rapids, rural Allegan County, and Metro Detroit. Being at Albion First is like returning home, as I graduated from Albion College in 2008. After college I did a year of mission work in Northern Ireland, and then attended Vanderbilt University Divinity School. I’m passionate about connecting people to God in worship, about being in ministry to those on the margins, and helping people reconcile to God and each other.
I am married to Rev. Erin Fitzgerald who is the pastor of Marshall UMC. We have two boys and a dog named Lucky.
