About Joel C. Hunter

Dr. Hunter served as senior pastor of Northland Church in Longwood, Florida for 32 years. In 2017 he transitioned from that role on a mission to “go from my best interpretation of what the Bible says, to my best imitation of how Jesus lived.”  In 2018, Orlando Magazine listed him as the #1 most powerful voice for philanthropy and community engagement. 

Now, Dr. Hunter, a full-time volunteer, serves as the Chairman of the Community Resource Network, a non-profit organization that he founded, focuses on helping the marginalized - specifically homeless families. Dr. Hunter is the immediate past Chair of the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness. 

He also leads SIMPLE HELP, a growing movement of everyday helpers doing simple things to make the world better.
