Josh Gallagher
Lead Pastor
Pastor Josh grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota. At the age of seven, Jesus became his Savior, and at nineteen, He became his Lord. From there, he was led in a direction he had never anticipated, one he considered dull and pointless. Nonetheless, he followed Jesus straight into full-time ministry as a pastor. His journey with Jesus brought him to his wife, Erin, and they were married in 2006. They have three wonderful children: Addyson, Emily, and Gavin. Their path has taken them to Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, California, and through the Campfire of 2018. The Gallagher family enjoys spending time together and creating lasting memories. Pastor Josh recognizes that following Jesus has cost him many things, but the reward of knowing Him is worth every sacrifice.
