Meet Our Pastoral Candidate

We are excited to introduce Josh as a prospective candidate for the position of Senior Pastor here at Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church. You will have ample opportunity to hear Josh bring the Word as well as talk one-on-one in the coming weeks. 

Even though Josh and his family have been part of our church family for some time, you are welcome to chat with them after any worship service, they look forward to becoming more deeply acquainted with each of you. 

CRBC family will vote on October 22nd at 7pm. 

This service will be fully dedicated to the pastoral call, and voting is open to all members 18 and over.

Josh and Ella's desire is to see Chestnut Ridge continue to grow as a loving, Christ-centered community that lives out the Gospel in word and deed.
