I am Joseph Nipah; usually referred to by many as Pastor Joe. I was born in Ghana, where I had my basic education, and went on to train in the fields of Agricultural Science and Biblical Studies. I later graduated from The University of Nottingham, UK, with a Doctorate in Plant Science. I worked for several years on various projects as a Senior Research Scientist until 2010, after which I resigned from the field of science to take up a full time ministerial role.

I am currently the Head Pastor of the Loughborough Church of God’s Vineyard Ministries; as well as, the Director of Training, Research and Development in the Ministry.

I have authored two books: ‘The Hidden Power of Forgiveness’ and ‘The Purpose of the Storm’.

I joined the Loughborough University Chaplaincy team in 2016 and am closely associated with the Radical Youth Society, as well as, other BAME Christian Societies on campus. I am also the current Hall Chaplain for the Holt and work closely with other chaplains in welcoming and inducting international students.

I am married to Evelyn, and we are the blessed parents of Theophilus, Michelle and Kwame.
