Josh joined our staff January 1, 2020! Since he moved to Garden City in 2016 he has called FSBC his church home. His wife Abbie and him were even married here! God has been at work warming him to this position since he started volunteering for the youth. He kept telling himself that this is not that big of a change as switching from agronomy to spiritual agronomy. He says, "It is humbling to think about all the things I have done in life that were disobedient to God, yet He still chooses to use me in ways bigger that I know. For everyone reading this, God can use you too, if you allow Him."

Being able to see my church family on a regular basis, and serve our church warms my heart." Her family consists of her husband, Ciro, their sons Tanner, Elijah and Theodore.
"This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is an offering I make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God's way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness." - Elisabeth Elliot .
