Joey Sarlo

Hi. welcome in!

Heaven to earth. The gospel on full display through words, works, and wonders.

I am a pastor and I create.

I’ll keep this short. I’ve owned this domain since 2008. It sat on my someday/maybe list for a long time before it finally became a real place. Thanks for stopping by.

Here’s what I know: the Creator of the universe lives in every Christ follower. That means it’s impossible not to be creative, and it’s impossible for anything to be impossible. (Yes, I may have just contradicted myself.)

Here’s the skinny (also a band I was in back in college): Jesus said, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” I want to be faithful in making that happen. Whatever I’m learning and noticing, I hope to pass on to you.

Girl dad

Sarlo, party of five.

I’m a girl dad, through and through. We went for the third to try and change that. Nope. It’s Sarlo, party of five, and I love every moment, unless someone doesn’t play a sport soon.

I’m married to my adventurous wife Amy, and our girls are Elena, Livia, & Sofia. I have no idea how I am going to pay for 3 weddings and 3 colleges. Celibacy could be a way, but they are just too pretty. Oh well.

20 minutes north of Baltimore.

We love our city. We love our church, Freedom Church. After growing up in Florida, we moved up north in 2019. I wonder if one day people will stop giving us the slightly angry/surprised look when we tell them that.

Say hello

I’d love to hear from you
