Joseph Amaya

Director of Marketing and Communications

Joseph Amaya is a storyteller, creative leader, and follower of Jesus who is passionate about creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and invited into something meaningful. He currently lives in Saint Joseph, Michigan with his wife, Laia, and their cocker spaniel, Luna.

Joseph is pursuing his Master of Divinity at Andrews Theological Seminary, where he explores how faith, creativity, and culture intersect to shape the way we live, worship, and connect with one another. Before seminary, he earned an MBA and led a successful brand identity studio, helping organizations discover and communicate who they are through strategy, story, and design.

From directing films to leading worship, crafting brand identities to building teams, Joseph has spent the last decade creating experiences that move people—emotionally, spiritually, and imaginatively. Whether he’s behind a camera, in a studio, or around a dinner table, Joseph’s desire is the same, to tell honest stories, reflect God’s heart, and invite others into moments that matter.
