A little about Pastor Josh:

Josh was born and raised on the Jersey Shore (That’s right, fugheddaboutit!). After going to college to be a pilot and air traffic controller, God grabbed his heart and pulled him into ministry. After moving to Seattle in 2009 he began discipling students, attended the University of Washington, and married his wife Jill in 2013. Josh and Jill answered the call at First Christian in 2015 and welcomed their son Jet in 2020. The Schacks enjoy hanging with students, camping, the beach, Disneyland, garage sales, traveling, Netflix, and cheering on the Seahawks!

Not strange necessarily but most people don’t know that I am a pilot 🙂
