Pastor Josh Peyton
I have been at Andover Christian Church since 2009, when I came on staff as the Youth Minister. In January 2020, I accepted the call of the Eldership to take a new role as Lead Pastor.
I became a Christian in November 2002 as a high school freshman and felt called to ministry shortly after that. I've always had a desire to grow into God's Word and learn more about the wonderful things He has done for me through His Son Jesus Christ. After graduating Girard (PA) High School I attended Cairn University where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Studies with an emphasis in youth ministry.
There, outside of Philadelphia, I met the love of my life, a red-haired New Jersey-girl named Melissa. She also studied God's Word at Cairn and is a preschool teacher of Little Laker Academy at Pymatuning Valley Primary School. We have been married since 2006 and have three beautiful and spunky daughters. Serving the children and youth of our church and community has been the joy of my life and watching students grow in their faith in Christ has been greatly rewarding.
I'm excited to see where God leads our church in the years to come. My core values are that God's Word speaks for itself and that there is a place for everyone at ACC!
