Joel Skellie has been an active member of the Kitsap community for over 30 years. He has served as the Director of Worship Arts for North Point Church, Poulsbo for the last 10 years. Joel is Patty Skellie’s husband of 40+ years, and they have two daughters, Lorelle and Michelle.

A prolific writer and composer, Joel has had several works premiered with the Bremerton WestSound Symphony and Chorale, and has written and produced numerous plays and musicals, choral anthems and worship songs.

When not making music, Joel loves to sail, and has cruised extensively in Northwest waters from South Puget Sound to the upper reaches of Vancouver Island.

Most of all, Joel is passionate about the process of joining others in the worship of God. He is eager to continue to learn what it means to follow Jesus, and finds his greatest joy in discovering …how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—[to be] filled to the measure of all the fullness of God- Ephesians 3:18-19

It is a pleasure helping out with business matters and other tasks in support of North Point Church. My wife Lani, I and our 3 children, joined North Point in 2000. Lani and I have both enjoyed being able to serve on Session and as Deacons. We have also been blessed by the many friends we’ve met here and by joining in several enriching Small Groups along the way. We love it here!
My past work includes 12 years on active duty in the Navy followed by 24 years in full time private practice as an Oral Surgeon. Over the last three years, being in part-time practice, it has been a joy being more able to participate in the challenging and important work of serving and loving our Lord and our neighbors at North Point Church.
