Josh was born in Columbus, Georgia; his family moved to Millbrook Alabama when he was two years old and he grew up in Elmore County. He attended and graduated from Victory Baptist School in Millbrook. Because he was raised in church Josh had a head-knowledge of Jesus but lacked a relationship with Him. At the age of 14, while attending Calvary Baptist Church in Wetumpka, Josh felt God calling Him to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. A few years later Josh felt God calling him again, this time into a life of ministry.
Josh began his career as a minister by singing with the southern gospel quartet, Sure Foundation. Sure Foundation traveled all over the Southeast, recorded several projects and was blessed with the opportunity to share the gospel of Christ in word and song in many places. Sure Foundation grew into Foundation Ministries, which expanded into contemporary music, praise and worship and leading revivals. During this time God opened the door for Josh to sing, play guitar, and preach.
In 2002 Josh felt God leading him away from Foundation Ministries and into Student Ministry. Josh saw God bless him as a student minister and in 2008 Josh followed God’s call again and became the pastor of Bridgeview Baptist Church.
Josh was married to Bridget Farmer in 2002. Bridget enjoys working with the children’s ministry and baking cakes. They have one son, Riley who was born in 2006.
Josh has a Bachelors Degree in Theology and is currently a graduate student at Andersonville Theological Seminary.
