JoshUA Ehrlich
Youth Pastor
Joshua Ehrlich joined the MCBC Framily in February 2024. He was born and raised in the church but began to truly fall in love with Jesus in his junior high and high school years. It was during this time that he began to sense God's call into the ministry. Because of this, he has a heart for youth and desires to help the next generation of believers grow in their relationships with Christ. He is not alone in this endeavor, though, as he married the love of his life in September 2023. Pastor Josh and his bride, Rachel, seek to serve God however He calls them to, all for His Glory.
