Joel Ryder

Joel came to Durham to study Theology. After covid tried its best to keep him away from Durham, he managed to graduate in 2022 and go on to complete the Kings Internship and Ministry Training Programme. Joel has since joined the staff team as a Youth Worker whilst undertaking an MA in Theology and Ministry alongside. Joel is slightly competitive, and you’ll often find him turning any and everything into a game, from various sports to sharing testimonies over dinner.
