Alex Joyner is a United Methodist pastor serving on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, one of the last undeveloped coastal regions on the Eastern seaboard. Alex serves Franktown Church, a vibrant congregation representing the diversity of the region. In previous roles, he has worked in inner-city Dallas, Texas, as a youth director; as an associate pastor in a bilingual Latino congregation; as a pastor in England and Virginia; and as a campus minister at the University of Virginia. His experience with college students and young adults led him to write Restless Hearts: Where Do I Go Now, God? (Abingdon Press), a resource for discovering your vocation.

Alex has been a featured preacher on the former Protestant Hour radio broadcast (now Day One) and began his career as a radio news director. He is summer adjunct lecturer at Southern Methodist University, where he has taught Bible and theology courses since 1996. He has a great interest in missions and has led work teams domestically and in Mexico. He has also led a student group to two places of Christian pilgrimage—Taize, France, and Iona, Scotland.

Alex is an avid kayaker who is often found paddling in the marshes and bays near his home. He is married to Suzanne and has two children, Joel and Rachel.
