Josiah is excited to serve as the new lead pastor of River Rock church. Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, he studied philosophy and psychology at Calvin University . In 2014, he moved to the Sacramento region to work with The GreenHouse Community Center and quickly fell in love with the area. While working there, he completed his M.Div at Western Theological Seminary, and his passion for community-focused ministry has only grown since. Josiah is deeply committed to sharing the beauty and joy of a life with Christ, and he looks forward to helping more people come to know Him.
Josiah and his wife Genevieve have three wonderful children: Nolan, Sophia, and Shiloh. As a family, they enjoy watching football (Go Blue!) and basketball (Light the beam!), taking walks on local trails, and spending quality time with loved ones.
