Reverend Joshua Noah is a child of God, a father of 3 amazing kids, a partner to Lawrence, a son, a brother, a friend, a spiritual listener, and an ordained pastor in the PCUSA (Presbyterian Church of the USA). He currently works as a full-time bartender and part-time pastor along the Alabama Gulf Coast. Josh grew up in north Alabama where he attended conservative, evangelical/fundamentalist Southern Baptist Churches. When he was a teenager, his disillusionment with the hypocrisy of people in the church led him to declare himself an atheist. While attending Maryville College (a PCUSA affiliated school in East Tennessee) Josh discovered his faith again and at 26, was baptized into the PCUSA church. Following a 11 year teaching career, Josh answered the Spirit’s call to ministry and attended Princeton Theological Seminary where he earned his M.Div. and M.A. in Christian Education (emphasis in Ministry with Young People). He was ordained in the PCUSA in 2015. In his 13 years of ministry, Josh has served as a Volunteer Youth Director in Houston, a Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministry in New Jersey, a solo pastor outside of St. Louis, and now is the part-time pastor of Open Table United Church of Christ in Mobile, AL. He will begin a Clinical Pastoral Education Residency in August 2022 in hopes of becoming a Board Certified Chaplain.
