Allow me to introduce myself. I am Joe Albright and I’m the pastor, Head of Staff. I came to Hodges in August of 2005 after serving four years as an Associate Pastor in Sarasota, Florida.  Before entering the ministry, I taught high school Spanish in Cape Hatteras North Carolina and Lawrence Tavern, Jamaica. I have a B.A. degree in Latin American Studies / Spanish, and received my Masters in Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta.

My wife Joy and I are blessed with three daughters, Marley, Emily, and Noelle. I love living near the ocean and especially enjoy surfing and fishing. It also gives me great joy to lead this family of faith, and to share this way of life in a community that serves and loves unconditionally.

If I, or any other member of the staff, can be helpful to you in anyway, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 223-6922, or email jalbright@hbpcusa.org .

Peace,

Joe Albright

Associate Pastor:

Hi, I am Holly Smith, the Associate Pastor. I joined Hodges in January of 2009 after completing a year-long internship at two small churches in South Dakota. I have a B.S. from Steven F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX and a MDIV degree from Austin Theological Seminary in Austin Texas.

I am married to my college sweetheart Matthew and we are blessed with three amazing children, Sarah, Gideon and Micah. I love to cook, read, sew, and spend time with my family.

I could not be more excited about helping lead and equip this congregation for a faithful life in ministry. If I can help you in anyway please give me a call or email me at hsmith@hbpcusa.org . Peace, Holly .
