After sometime of courting and growth in their spiritual lives Joe and Christy
sensed the Lord leading him to get more Biblical Higher education.

On that particular day; Joe drove on the Campus of Clearwater Christian but he didn’t sense that it was the right place. They had heard of Trinity College. He continued to chase his calling with a drive on to the campus of Trinity College. That very day He sensed God’s “this is the place” and enrolled.

Three years after his 1997 graduation from Trinity College. Joe became pastor of Hillside Community Baptist Church of Brooksville Fl. He has served there as lead pastor of 24 years.

After 24 years Pastor Joe has proved that the way to grow a church is through a children’s ministry that helps them feel at home. Joe says; “Kid’s need dads
today”. Pastor Joseph Santerelli has been a pastor and a dad to many needing our Heavenly Father’s guidance and love.
I present to you our Alumnus of the the year Pastor Joseph and Christy Santerelli.
