Joel Tankersley
Emeritus, in loving memory
Joel Tankersley
In 2023 High Point Village honored Joel at our annual Celebration Gala for his 15 years of work, dedication and love for High Point Village. Joel spent a lifetime walking with the Lord and sharing the love of Jesus with countless individuals. With his late wife, Sallye by his side, Joel followed God’s calling and partnered with the founding families of High Point Village to create this incredible organization. His fingerprint can be found all over High Point Village, whether that be in the first written documents on file, the preparation of High Point’s 63 acres, the families, donors, and volunteers who he brought alongside him to carry out the mission, in the leaves he cleaned out of gutters, the lightbulbs he changed, in the smiles of the Villagers and in the beauty of this place. The world celebrates success, fame, celebrity, and recognition; but in Scripture, it is no secret what the Lord values – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Joel was the epitome of these fruits.
