After roughly five months of prayer, discernment, and conversation, the Youth Minister Search Committee is grateful to share that our church has approved Josh Gill as our next Youth Minister. We are deeply thankful for the support, encouragement, and prayers the congregation has offered throughout the process.

 
In our conversations with Josh, it was evident that he has such a passion for creating spaces for people to encounter God and for teaching. Josh comes to us from the H. E. Butt Foundation where he currently serves as the Assistant Director of Laity Lodge Family Camp and has previous experience as a Student & Children’s Ministry Associate Director and a Young Adult Ministry Pastor.

 
We are excited for Josh to step into this role and eager to see how God will use his gifts to bless our students, families, and community. Josh will start in this new role August 9th, which will allow him to finish up the camp season at Laity Lodge and then take some time to reconnect and recuperate with his family.

 
Thank you again for your prayers. Please continue to pray for our students, their families, and our church as we continue through this time of transition.
