Josh Goertzen- Elder

Josh came to know Jesus as savior in early childhood, during which he gained a foundation of his faith through intentional leadership in his church and programs like AWANA. His faith grew through years of study at Moody Bible Institute during college. As a young married man, Josh saw God's wisdom and freedom through the truth of His word. Josh moved to Alaska in 2003 and has served his churches by teaching Bible, leading small groups, administration, and one on one discipling of God's Word. Raising three sons has given him a passion for equipping God's next generation of young men of faith. He is honored to serve at CCOV as an elder.
