Meet Our Ministers

Joshua Stutzman, Campus Minister

Favorite Verse: “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Cor 5:14-15, NIV)

Josh Stutzman was born and raised in Newberg, Oregon, where he grew up in a loving and joyful Christian home. His parents, Don and Nancy Stutzman, raised Josh alongside his brother Ben and sister Mary, instilling in him a strong faith in God that would guide him throughout his life.

After graduating from high school, Josh attended Pepperdine University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religion. He then went on to complete his Masters of Divinity at both Harding Graduate School of Religion (now Harding School of Theology) and Lipscomb University.

Throughout his academic career, Josh had the opportunity to gain practical experience in ministry through a variety of internships and practicums. He worked as a youth ministry intern in Santa Rosa, CA, Malibu, CA, and Franklin, TN, as well as serving as a Children’s Ministry intern in Hendersonville, TN, and Franklin, TN. He also completed a homeless ministry practicum in Memphis, TN.

In addition to his domestic ministry experience, Josh has also had the opportunity to engage in international mission work in Africa and Asia. These experiences helped to broaden his perspective and deepen his understanding of the global church.

Today, Josh serves as the Campus Minister at Circle Church of Christ, where he focuses on working with college students to help them grow in their faith and leadership abilities. He loves watching students discover their passions for ministry and is particularly fond of studying the Bible with those who have never read the story of Jesus before.

Through his work at Circle Church of Christ, Josh is able to live out his passion for training the next generation of church leaders. His goal is to help students not only grow in their faith but also become equipped to serve as elders, deacons, ministers, and ministry leaders within the church.

Josh feels blessed to be working in campus ministry and is excited to continue serving the Lord in this capacity for many years to come.
