Speaker
Josh Meadows is the Student Ministry Strategist for the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, which is a fancy way of saying he is the youth pastor to youth pastors around the state of Alabama. He served in four different churches as a family pastor, student pastor, lead pastor of a church plant, and a youth and children’s pastor. He graduated from Toccoa Falls College in 2002 with a degree in pastoral ministries. He received an MA in Church Leadership from Luther Rice University and is currently working on a DMIN in strategic leadership from NOTBS. Josh and Jenn have been married since 2003 and have four kids: Joshua, Josiah, Jubilee, and Janna. When Josh isn’t dealing with moody teenagers in his home, he is coaching a couple of different competitive girls soccer teams. He thinks great coffee doesn’t need anything added to it. Go Jackets!
