Associate Pastor of Worship & Evangelism - Josh Moore

Josh was born and raised in Warrensburg, Missouri. Josh received Christ into his heart in the seventh grade and answered God's call to full time ministry while he was attending high school. Josh graduated from Hannibal LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and has interned at First Baptist Church of Warrensburg, Missouri, and was previously the Pastor of Worship and Arts at Central Baptist Church in Quincy, Illinois. In December of 2004, Josh prayed for an opportunity to be a part of a church in a community that was experiencing change and a church that was truly seeking to reach the changing culture and community around them. God then answered Josh's prayer, and Josh followed God's leadership for him and his family to First Baptist Church of Lake Saint Louis.

In his spare time, Josh loves to swim, play soccer and racquetball, do some wakeboarding, and work on video production.

Josh lives in the St. Charles County area with his wife Emily, and his children, Madelin, Abigail and new baby Bennet.

His favorite authors are Jim and Carol Cymbala, and he loves to partake in Mexican food and Pepsi.

Josh loves all kinds of music, but his favorite music artist are the Christian rock group, Casting Crowns.

Josh's favorite scripture is from Romans 12:1-2 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good pleasing and perfect will."
