Lead Pastor : Joey McLaughlin

Joey McLaughlin is the lead and founding pastor of Elevate City in Atlanta, Ga. He is the author and visionary architect of EQUIP and EQUIP X. Both are multiplicative disciple making models designed to create disciple makers who: deeply know Jesus, passionately follow Jesus and consistently lead others to do the same. Joey’s heart is to help the Church recapture the ancient art of disciple making while not neglecting the power of the Sunday gathering.

As a communicator, Joey is Jesus centered, Biblically saturated and extremely passionate. His unique teaching style blends humor and authenticity with the goal of seeing the Bible jump off the pages and into people's lives. Joey studied Biblical Studies and Theology at Moody Bible in Chicago, IL.
