Joel Oliver

Joel Oliver Utrera joined the L'Arcada ministry team in June 2023 as the Discipleship Programs Coordinator. His mission is to guide, train, and accompany young people between the ages of 12 and 17, preparing them not only to be part of the L'Arcada summer team, but also to become valuable tools for the future of the church in Spain.

His connection with L'Arcada began in 2015, when he attended as a teenage camper and went through the same programs he coordinates today. During the summers, he volunteered and, over time, deepened his commitment to the ministry. At the same time, Joel trained in various sports disciplines in mid-mountain and physical-sports animation, while his passion for youth ministry continued to grow. In 2019, he decided to take a step further and enrolled in the IBSTE Biblical Seminary, convinced that his calling was to impact the lives of young people.
