The McConkey Family
Meet Joe and Meg
Joe and Meg both grew up in a Christian home and met at Bible Baptist Church in York, Pa under the ministry of Dr. Kevin Trout. Joe was saved at the age of 15 and was called to the ministry at 17 years old in a youth rally. He answered the Holy Spirit’s call to pastor in February 2019. Meg was saved at the age of 7 at a church VBS in the eastern shore of MD. Meg has had a desire since she was a young girl to serve God with her life.
Upon graduation from high school, Joe and Meg attended and graduated from Hyles-Anderson College, in Crown Point, IN. Joe graduated in “07” with a major in Pastor Theology and Meg graduated in “08” with a secretarial certificate.
The McConkey’s have valued the times of ministerial service in Mississippi, Maine and now Maryland.
In January 2022 God used a fellow Graduate and classmate of HAC to direct our family to start to pray on founding a church across the river in a needed town of Havre de Grace. Through God leading and confirming the McConkey’s they are preparing for a spring 2024 launch of Emmanuel Baptist Church with the help of Church Planters Phil and Shelley Mahoney.
Joe and Meg have two wonderful sons, Parker (14) & Peyton (12)
