Pr Joshua Muthalali
Pastor Joshua had the privilege of receiving Christ as his Lord and Savior at a young age under the discipleship of his parents and church. Also at a young age, God called him to be a witness of Christ and to be a minister of the gospel. In obedience to God’s calling and to deepen his understanding of God, he pursued theological education from Lee University and Fuller Theological Seminary.
Joshua serves the Lord and the church through teaching, preaching, leading worship, and counseling. He has a heart especially for the next generation within immigrant churches and seeks to develop effective ways of being Christ’s disciple in new and changing contexts.
Joshua is married to his wonderful wife, Laura. Together they have two children who are their pride and joy. Joshua loves to spend time with family, travel, make music, and read. Joshua and Laura look forward to walking alongside with others on their Christian journey.
