Josh GARDNER

MINISTER TO STUDENTS

Josh was born and raised in Grapevine, Texas. So naturally, his favorite thing about Utah is the weather because anything is better than that Texas heat! Josh loves going on adventures with his wife Rachel and engaging with people in community. He is passionate about leading students and their families into flourishing relationships with Jesus. To see students surrender every aspect of their lives for the sake of the gospel and to know that they are gaining more in Christ is his greatest joy in ministry. If you are interested in the Student Ministry at Flourishing Grace shoot him an email or just stop by; he would love to get you connected.
