The Baptist denomination is the largest free church denomination in the world with over forty-three members around the world. However, nearly thirty-three million Baptists live in America. The origins of Baptist churches can be traced back to John Smyth and the Separatist Movement in 1608 that began in England. Something that makes the Baptist church's beliefs unique is that they believe in the baptism of adult believers instead of infant baptism. Baptist denominations follow a congregational church governance in which each individual congregation is governed autonomously. Pastor Josh Foor is from Columbus, Ohio. His passion is to experience the fullness of life offered in Christ and help others do the same. After traveling to many different places and studying many different topics, he embraced God's call to pastoral ministry and can't imagine doing anything else. Pastor Josh loves the local church and believes that people thrive in community centered around the gospel of Jesus Christ. Josh is married to his best friend, Camille and together they enjoy going on hikes with their German Shepherd Rosie, tending their urban farmstead, and roasting coffee.
