Pastor Joshua Steiner Oversees Christian Education & Discipleship
Joshua grew up in a Christian home, but was living a twofaced life; acting one way when he was at church, and a completely different way when he was at school. It wasn’t until he was 18 years old that the Lord helped him to see the absolute necessity of having a relationship with Him. He personally surrendered his life to the Lord and began to seek to live for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Upon completing high school he had the privilege of attending Appalachian Bible College (ABC) in West Virginia. During his freshman year he began to realize that God was calling him to fulltime vocational ministry. He graduated from ABC in the spring of 2010 with a B.A. in Bible and Theology and that fall began his graduate work in the CGBCI Schools of Theology at OGBC.
The year of 2015 contained many exciting chapters in his life. In the spring he completed his course work for his Masters of Divinity degree. That fall he had the privilege of marrying the exceptional and great blessing from the Lord: Joy Miller! They were united in the unbreakable covenant of marriage on October 23, 2015. Less than three months later he became one of the elders at OGBC. He is excited to have the opportunity to learn how to shepherd a church alongside his two mentors, Pastor Ike and Pastor Del. Galatians 2:20 has always challenged him, as Paul says: “I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Joshua writes, "Too often I find that I am living for myself and what I want to do, but with the Lord’s strength and enablement I am seeking to live for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
Joshua and Joy are blessed with four children: Paul, Joseph, Christavadi & Janessa.
