We are the recipients of God's wonderful, marvelous, and transforming grace. He sent His Son to accomplish what we could not, and through faith in Jesus, we have been delivered from a kingdom of darkness and brought into His marvelous light. In response to this grace, we are committed to living our lives for His glory by proclaiming the good news of God's grace, walking in a manner worthy of this grace, and seeking the good of our community around us.
Joshua grew up on the outskirts of Lexington, KY, and moved to Louisville in 2012 to attend Boyce College & Southern Seminary. He began to attend Immanuel Baptist Church in 2014 and served in various capacities as a Pastoral Assistant, GCG Leader, Deacon, and other roles. He ended his time at Immanuel by serving as an Elder and Church Planting Resident from 2022-2023 before being sent to Morehead - with other families - to establish Rowan Community Church.
Joshua was formally installed as the Pastor of RCC on October 29, 2023, after 11 saints covenanted together to form the first membership of Rowan Community Church. As the sole elder and staff member, Joshua oversees the administrative aspects of church life, utilizing the gifts of her members, plans and preaches the majority of services, and strives to "shepherd the flock of God" entrusted into his care.
Joshua has been married to Lydia since July 2016 and they now have four children: Abner, Oren, Ira, and Miriam. In their free time, they are avid readers, aspiring homesteaders, and makers and eaters of good food.
