Joey DeRuntz, Pastor, Master's Bible Church. Joey was born and raised in the Bay Area, California. Christ saved him through reading the Bible while incarcerated. His knowledge and hunger for the Word of God grew and it became evident to the leaders in his church that he had the gift of teaching. He married his wife, Christal, in 2012 and was ordained in 2013. Joey graduated from The Master's Seminary in May 2018. In September 2018, he and his family moved to Washington. Joey loves sharing the truth of the gospel with all ages and loves watching the Lord work in the lives of those around him.

He graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2006 and by God’s Grace was born again while living in South Dakota in his early 20’s. It was there that he met his wife, Tia, and they were married in 2008. Christ gave him a passion for gospel ministry early on and after a few significant trials and some encouragement from his pastor, they moved to Los Angeles in 2017 for Justin to attend The Master’s Seminary. Justin graduated with his Master of Divinity (MDiv.) in May 2021. In November of the same year, he received the call to Pastor at Master’s Bible Church. Justin’s happiness is found in Christ and in serving His people.
