ABOUT
PASTOR-ELECT JOSHUA BUFORD
Greetings,
God began stirring my heart to preach when I was just twelve years old, a seed that would take root and flourish through every season of life. My journey has been marked by grace—the unmerited invitation to know Jesus more fully and to extend that same grace to others, especially when it’s hardest to do so.
I’m blessed to be married to Alisha, my partner in faith and life, and together we raise ten children who teach me daily what steadfast hope and patient love look like in real time. Our home is a living reminder that God’s promises are kept in ordinary moments—around the dinner table, in the quiet of early mornings, and in the courage to forgive and start anew.
In our ministry, I strive to preach not from a pedestal but from a pulsing heart: to shepherd with humility, to discipleship with tenderness, and to mercy that meets people where they are. I believe the gospel is not only good news for the mind but good news for the soul, transforming families, communities, and the world through grace that sustains us.
If you’re seeking a church where grace is not just preached but practiced, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in worship, study, and service.
Pastor Joshua Buford
Being a pastor is a profound calling that brings immense joy and fulfillment, especially when shared with a supportive spouse. A pastor's wife plays a role in the ministry, offering encouragement, wisdom, and partnership in the community. Together, they create a loving environment that fosters spiritual growth and connection among congregation members. This partnership not only strengthens their bond but also enriches the lives of those they serve.
