Both born and raised in St. Louis, Josh + Tori have a great love for this city. After attending ministry school in Los Angeles, they felt God was calling them back to help build LIFECHURCH.  They have served here for nearly ten years in various leadership roles and are now serving as our Senior Pastors. Josh + Tori have been married since 2000 and have four children–Miles, Lila, Ansley + Monroe. As a family, they love to serve this community. 

Josh + Tori believe the church extends beyond four walls, and it’s their desire to reach the forgotten and hopeless. They believe the church should be a place to welcome and embrace those in search of a family, a home. Not constrained by rules or religion, Josh + Tori are passionate about Jesus and his relentless love. They find joy in community and believe in the church spoken of in Acts (2v42-47). Their hearts beat for people and they long to help bring others into true relationship with Jesus.

LIFECHURCH was founded in 1980, after God gave a young man a great vision to reach this city. It began under the leadership of Pastors Rick + Donna and that vision was carried out for 35 faithful years. In this new season, Pastors Rick + Donna travel both nationally and abroad, encouraging and equipping leaders and pastors around the world.
