Josh Peters

Hey guys! I am excited to be here with you to bring some encouragement and challenges from the Word, coming from the great city of Savannah, GA. I have been serving there for the last couple of years as the student minister, in charge of a big, growing student ministry. I have some fun stories to share with you from the travels that God has sent me on, from working with church plants in New York City, ministering to students and young adults in Hawaii, and doing mission work in Nicaragua and Mexico.

I was called into ministry as a high school junior, and then studied at Johnson Bible College, receiving a triple major in Biblical Theology, Student Ministry, and Preaching Ministry. I was blessed to meet my wife in college, and we have now been married for 3 years.

Happy to be here with you!
