Joshua Lunde-Whitler has a PhD in Christian Education. Joshua’s calling has been centered around helping today’s churches thrive as intergenerational communities of love and faith that spread justice and compassion in the world. Over fifteen years he has pursued this call in a variety of settings: as a youth pastor in southern California, as the founder and chaplain of a community for the homeless, teaching children and adults as an associate pastor in Texas, as a youth retreat leader, as a commissioned pastor for a small church here in central Massachusetts, etc.

            Josh is leading faith formation for our youth, including children of all ages; and connecting our youth in strong outreach to our neighbors in need.

​Attention Youth and Parents!
Join our workshop beginning in May!
 
Are you curious about what it means to be a “spiritual” person, and how it contributes to a meaningful, purposeful life?
Youth and Young Adults: Is there a part of you that wants to explore this, in a personal, non-judgmental way, inspired by the Christian tradition?
Parents: Would you like to explore this as well, and how to raise children to explore faith and spirituality together?
If so, then please consider registering for our limited-places, hybrid workshop led by YCOM Josh. It’s designed with busy schedules in mind and so it will only require 15-20 minutes of your time a week, plus a hybrid lunch gathering after services. You’ll receive materials, a certificate of completion,  and gift certificates for your time!
