The team God has given us to shepherd and serve this church.

He is married to Katelyn Cox and they are the parents of three kids together. He transitioned from youth pastor to executive pastor.

Joshua Cox

Youth Pastor

Content needed: Joshua’s bio was missing on the old site. A couple of sentences is plenty — background, family, and what he loves about working with students.

Brendan has been with Church H2O since March of 2023. He and his wife, Allison Lovelady, have been married and serving the Lord together since September of 2023.
