staff spotlight

joe daly | operations and stewardship

My name is Joe Daly, and I serve in the areas of Operations and Stewardship at Harris Creek. Before getting to Texas 13-years ago, I was born and raised in Minnesota and then spent a short season at Kanakuk Kamps in Missouri. My wife, Megan, and I have been married for 11-years, and we have 2-boys, Will & Drew. Having been in Waco and at Harris Creek almost 4-years now, it’s both humbling and an honor to stand on 145-years of church history and faithfulness. One of our absolute favorite parts about Harris Creek is doing life together with the families in our life group. As kindly as I can say it, if you are not in a life group you are missing out!
