Justin Lawrence
Executive Director of Operations
A church historian by training, Justin spent over 20 years in Christian publishing, where he excelled in selling and marketing books, collaborating with bestselling authors, and traveling to events across the globe.
He is married to Joy, a pastor in the Evangelical Covenant Church, and they have two children: Evelyn, a theatre-loving 9th grader, and Judah, a 6th grader with a passion for cars, both of whom attend Timothy Christian.
Hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota, Justin grew up in a family deeply involved in their local Christian and Missionary Alliance church. He holds degrees from Houghton University (NY), Regent College (Canada), and Grand Valley State University (MI). His career journey is as varied as it is impressive, with roles ranging from soccer coach to bookseller at Barnes and Noble, frozen food warehouse order-picker, and a management consultant.
Fun Facts: Justin has crossed Lake Michigan in a teeny, tiny sailboat four times (!) and once played Monopoly with the Secretary of the Department of Energy!
