Conetoe Family Life Center

#ChangemakerSpotlight Reverend Richard Joyner was born the son of a sharecropper in Bethel, NC. After witnessing the racism and the economic disenfranchisement that his family and members of his community had to endure, Reverend Joyner fought to leave the farm as soon as possible. Although he had a successful career serving in the US Army and the National Guard, Reverend Joyner was called back to the same area that his parents farmed to minister to the community through faith and food. Over the last two decades, Reverend Joyner has spent his lengthy career dedicated to encouraging interfaith dialogue, spiritual inclusivity, and greater emotional, social, and physical human development. A certified Clinical Pastoral Counselor, he currently serves as the Pastor of Conetoe Missionary Baptist Church and the Founder of the Conetoe Family Life Center, and he has just retired as the Director of Pastoral Care at Nash Health Care Systems. In every role, Reverend Joyner is passionately committed to addressing chronic public health issues by advocating for healthy food, lifestyles, and relationships among at-risk and low-income populations. His work to establish the Conetoe Family Life Center, a non-profit effort that encourages gardening, healthy eating habits, stress management, and better sleep for populations suffering from chronic ailments and malnutrition, has garnered attention and acclaim from national and regional media outlets including CNN, the Raleigh News and Observer, Our State magazine, the Rocky Mount Telegram and others. #ChangemakerSpotlight #WE4Equity #WEWINTogether #Equity #Change #realchange #betterancestor
