Stephanie Joyner

Stephanie is married to Noah and they have 5 kids, all who attend CLA. She is an artist and educator by trade, and spends most of her artistic focus on charcoal portraiture. She also created an online Christian birth education course. Her husband Noah is a local pastor and they have ministered at North Wake Church for the past 19 years together. She deeply enjoys growing and leading others in the pursuit of contemplative Christian practices and spiritual formation. Their family founded a theological institute in the Dominican Republic 8 years ago that still gets lots of their ministry focus, including lots of travel. Stephanie deeply enjoys creating out of quiet, prayerful space, rooted in intimacy with God and dependence on the Holy Spirit. Her creative endeavors currently include portraiture, painting, silversmithing, and writing. She’s so excited to inspire the students at CLA to imagine all the divine possibilities that exist within the practice of creative work that seeks to bless others and increase beauty in the world.
