Josh Petras has lived in Murrieta since 1st grade. He grew up in a home with great values and attended church, but there was no love for Christ. In the summer before 8th grade, Josh attended church camp where he was exposed to the gospel for the first time. Six months later his heart was changed–he began to treasure Christ and surrender every part of his life to Him.
In May 2010, Josh married his beautiful bride and best friend Katie. Josh and Katie have been serving in Youth ministry for the past four years. Josh’s desire for Jr. High students is not that they would become good moral kids, but that they see Jesus in the Word, treasure Him above all, and in response live a life that glorifies Him in every way.
