Pastor Josh grew up as a pastor’s kid, (“PK”), but did not receive his calling to become a pastor until life had taken him on a few detours leading him to ultimately say “yes” to God and “no” to himself. 

 

He graduated from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota with a Bachelor’s Degree (B.A.) in English and got his Masters of Divinity (M. Div.) from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. 

 

Josh enjoys all things related to the Minnesota Wild, Twins and Vikings, takes pride in beating his kids in video games, can answer every question on Jeopardy!, and can usually be seen in the community helping coach the Marshall Mites hockey team and serving on the Marshall Area Hockey Association Board. 

 

Prior to serving Cornerstone, he pastored churches in Sleepy Eye, Rochester and  Springfield. 

 

Josh and his wife, Kristen have four boys, a French bulldog named Samson and live in Marshall.
