Pastor Joe is now in his eternal home.

Dear Genoa Church Family,

It is with both deep sorrow and confident hope that we share the news that our beloved Pastor Joe Stoll has graduated to his eternal home in glory.

While our hearts grieve the loss of a faithful shepherd, friend, and brother in Christ, we rejoice knowing that Joe is now in the presence of his Savior—the One he faithfully loved, served, and proclaimed throughout his life.

Today, his faith has become sight.

As we mourn together, we also celebrate the sure hope we have in Jesus Christ. The words of Job remind us of this unshakable hope:

"For I know that my Redeemer lives,

And He shall stand at last on the earth;

And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,

That in my flesh I shall see God,

Whom I shall see for myself,

And my eyes shall behold, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!"

Job 19:25–27

We invite our church family and all whose lives were impacted by Joe's ministry to join us as we celebrate his life and the faithfulness of God.

*There are no visitation hours.

Thank you for your continued prayers for Marcella, the family, and all who loved Joe. May the Lord surround them with His peace and comfort in the days ahead, and may we, as a church family, continue to encourage one another with the hope of the resurrection of Jesus.

"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." — Philippians 1:21
