Just Keep Writing with Joel Peace

Born in New York, raised in South Florida, and later moving to Australia at 18 to study worship and theology, I began a journey that shaped both my faith and creativity. It was there that I met my wife, J, and also discovered a love for aesthetics. For a long time, I never considered myself creative until I realized I simply saw and processed things differently than most people around me.

Music had always been part of my life, but in my late teens I came to understand that what I really loved was art in all its forms. Whether seeing it, hearing it, or creating it, I was drawn to beauty and meaning expressed through creativity.

Today, I create primarily for my local church Christ Fellowship Church in South Florida where I help shape worship experiences both visually and musically. That ranges from dreaming up new series concepts and producing creative video moments in services, to songwriting and developing the sound of worship for our community.

As a songwriter with MVMNT Music, the worship expression of Christ Fellowship, my heart is to write songs that give voice to the church songs that carry both the raw honesty of personal encounter with God and the shared language of corporate worship. For me, songwriting isn’t just about crafting melodies and lyrics; it’s about helping people encounter God’s presence, express their faith, and be reminded of His truth.

Ultimately, my hope is that every project I touch whether a song, a service, or a creative concept leads people closer to Jesus and reflects the beauty of His kingdom.
