In October of 2019 God planted a vision in Joseph and Kristen’s heart for a church where people can belong before they believe. Shortly thereafter they were invited to lead a youth weekend in Las Vegas where God opened their eyes to the epidemic of youth homelessness in Southern Nevada and used this reality as a catalyst for their calling to the city.  So in August of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, the Gibbons moved with their 2 kids, Canon and Riley Jo as well as 5 close friends to start Favor City Church.  

Joseph holds a BA in Theology from the University of Mobile as well as a Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.  He enjoys trips with his family, golf, hunting, off-roading and just about anything that combines competition and the great outdoors!
