LEADERSHIP

Pastor Josh has a passion and a vision to preach and teach God’s Word with relevance and impact.

My late wife, Rose, and I raised two sons who are now college students. Our paths have been guided by our providential God while we follow Jesus Christ and receive His grace to help in our times of need.

My amazing wife, Therese, whom God gave me in 1982, has blessed me with 4 children: Celina, Nathaniel, Gabriel, and Hannah. Therese and I run a flower business that was conceived, sustained, and prospered by God in answer to a prayer we prayed while living in Delaware in the late 1980’s. I can never say enough about the goodness, kindness, mercy, love, and care that God has shown me over the years.
Our family attended Evansville Community Church from its founding in 1999. While there we were all led to Christ and baptized by Pastor Chris Leonard. Therese and I have attended Oak Grove Church since 2015.

My wife, Barbara, and I came to Christ a week apart, but met four years later. We are fortunate to have three adult children who love the Lord, love us and love each other. We also are enjoying being with and watching our four granddaughters grow.
I have worked in health care for over forty years and enjoy sharing the truth of the gospel with anyone who expresses an interest. Barbara currently enjoys substitute teaching in several area public schools.
Oak Grove Church has been our church home for over twenty years. We are excited for the growth potential we see in this body, going deeper in their fellowship with the living Lord and desiring to live for Him. We see, as essential to this individual growth, a personal commitment to His Word as our true authority.
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish His work.” John 4.34

My husband Dave & I are blessed with 2 adult sons who live in the area with their families.
