YOUTH DIRECTOR - Minister of Youth
Joey Capps
Hi! My name is Joey Capps. I am married to my wonderful bride, Brantley. We will be married 15 years this December. I have two wonderful children, Bryson (8) and Isabella (3). I grew up here in the Dacusville area and went to school at Pickens High; played all the sports I could, and still have that passion today. I was saved right here at Blue Ridge View when I was 11 years old and didn't live my life like it during my teenage years. May 31, 2000 the night my son was born I rededicated my life to the Lord and not long after surrendered to the ministry.
I started seminary school at Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute and finished my degree at Andersonville Theological Seminary in Biblical Studies. I am currently working on my B.A. in Christian Counseling. I know without one doubt that God has called me to reach and teach the youth. I love watching these young men and women of God grow spiritually, and love being the youth minister here at BRVBC. I pray that God will continue to use me right here. IF you don't have a church home, please feel free to come and visit. We believe in outreach ministries, and would love to have you join us. God bless.
