Chris Copeland
Serving in Ireland
“Pray that the people of Ireland would be restored to a living and active faith in Jesus.”
Chris and Joi have three boys; Garrison, Gage, and Gavin. We both became Christians in 1990 and have been active in church ministry through men’s and women’s ministry, youth ministry, worship, leadership, community care, and global ministry. Chris is an ordained and licensed Minister of the Gospel and Joi is a published author who writes Christian Women’s Fiction.
We felt the call to full-time global ministry in 2014. Our home is Galway, Ireland where we are working actively with Galway City Church and in conjunction with the Irish Association of Baptist Churches. In addition to preaching and worship leading, we are working to help raise up local believers who will step up to lead the church.
Our oldest and youngest son both live in the United States and are working and attending University. Our middle son lives with us in Galway, Ireland where he is attending University and studying Strength and Conditioning. He is also active in ministry in Ireland leading a ministry for 7–12-year-old boys called Modern Day Knights where he is teaching and mentoring them to grow up to be strong men of God.
