Doxologist ContentJoe Day Bio
One of our weekly features for September is blogger bios. We figured it’d be a good way to get readers acquainted with Doxologist contributors and communicate a “who’s-who” for the leadership of the worship department at Mars Hill. (And assigning the blogs was fun too cause the subjects had to write “em in third person themselves!) First up to bat is our good pal, Joe Day. Enjoy. 
Back in 1977, a few months before Elvis died, a young couple of ski instructors, Mike & Tracy Day, birthed their first born son, Joseph.
Joe wasted no time getting on the slopes and by fourteen was competing in the Junior Olympics. By sixteen he’d traded his skis for drums and guitar and cut his teeth in his first death-metal band.
Between the busy years of “97 to ‘03 Joe had moved to the Seattle area, started and dissolved bands Static and Mindhead, toured regionally and released two albums and an EP, respectively. Joe also served as worship pastor in the Acts 29 church, The Gathering and released a CD of worship songs creatively titled, “Worship.” He wrote Surrender, For Your Goodness, The Glory of God, and Psalm 25, all of which are sung at Mars Hill Church today.
In 2004 Joe married his home-town sweetheart, Jentry Major. They enjoy sailing, hiking, cooking food for friends and making smores in the back yard.
In 2005, Joe transitioned from The Gathering to Mars Hill and by January 2006 was leading worship at the inauguration of the Shoreline campus. Today, he leads the band The Northern Conspiracy and continues to write songs.
I gotta say “The Glory of God” is a grand song, especially the chorus.
[...] Joe Day and his wife Jentry were married in April of 2004 and moved to Lynnwood in Oct of 2005 where they serve at the Shoreline campus. Though they have only been at Mars Hill for 2 1/2 years, Joe’s influence has been here for much longer as the author of many songs sung on Sundays (The Glory of God, At the Foot of the Cross, and Surrender to name a few). Prior to Mars Hill, Joe was an elder and worship pastor for 5 years at a former Acts 29 church in Mount Vernon. Currently, he leads the MH band The Northern Conspiracy and serves on the Worship Lead Team that casts vision and lends direction in the Worship Department, writes articles for http://www.doxologist.org, and oversees band quality. Joe is a designer/project manager at über-cool downtown web design agency, CrashShop. Jentry teaches 4th grade in the Edmonds School District. Doxologist recently posted an article about him here.
