JOE LACK - lighting director / creative arts support

BIOGRAPHY
 
     I have been a Christian most of my life but really started pursuing Jesus passionately about 8 years ago when I first came to Life Center. Before then, I really didn’t know what it meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
     I graduated from Whitworth College in Spokane, WA with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. I love all things theatre; acting, directing, and especially writing.
     Here at Life Center I am the lighting director, a drama and creative team member, and a sketch writer. I love my job and think it’s amazing that I get to do all this in church (and get paid for it).

11. Describe the best vacation you’ve been on.
It wasn’t really a vacation, but it felt that way. I studied abroad in Europe for a month in college.

I actually went into the cell where Peter and Paul were held just before they were executed in the Roman Forum. To be standing where such heroes of the faith stood was quite surreal.
