A lifelong resident of Berks and Chester counties, Josh, a graduate of Clarks Summit University, has served as an area pastor since 2000. Josh and Jen began the process of planting Branch Life Church in 2017 with the vision of multiplying disciples, leaders and churches by connecting people to Christ and reaching our world. Josh’s Bible teaching is engaging visually, and connects in a way that helps you know and follow God. Josh cheers for all the Philadelphia teams, loves his family, is a dog person, and has a healthy fear of sharks. Josh and Jen have two children, Delaney and Mr. Will, and a Golden retriever named Liberty Bell. Pastor Josh is the pastoral team leader and oversees our Sunday worship, evangelism, discipleship, and our multiplication/leadership development initiative.
