Joseph Fulk, III

Senior Pastor

Hello and Blessings to Each and Every One,

My name Joseph Fulk, III and I have the honor and privilege to be the Senior Pastor here at Central Global Methodist Church, as you well know, located here in the great city of Asheboro.

A little about myself and my family:

I was born and raised in North Carolina, as a PK (pastor’s kid), primarily in Western North Carolina, so I have been blessed to be a part of numerous communities in this great state. I attended Elementary School in Jonesville, Middle and High School in Rutherford County, and finished my four-year degree from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.

After receiving the call to ministry, I attended Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC and served as a Student Pastor at Rodgers Forge UMC (Baltimore, MD) for four years. Since, I have been blessed to serve churches in Surry, Davidson, Guilford, and now Randolph Counties.

I am blessed by God with my wife Elaine, our four children, and our one dog and one cat. We enjoy family time, the outdoors, going and doing, the beach, good music, volunteering/working in the emergency services (Fire and EMT), and we like to follow some of our favorite sports teams.

We are thankful and grateful to be here to love and serve the Lord, His Church/His people, and the community of Asheboro. Also, I am excited about what the Lord is doing and has in store for us all as we seek to be about the Lord’s business for the Kingdom of God.

Joseph Says:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

- Joshua 1:9 NIV
