Fairdale Pastor

Josh Greene was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies from North Greenville  University in Tigerville, South Carolina in 2002.  After graduating from North Greenville University, he moved to Louisville, Kentucky to attend  The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

While in seminary, Josh became involved with First Baptist Church Fairdale.  In October of 2003, Josh began serving as the Youth and  Children’s Minister at FBC Fairdale.  This ignited in Josh a deep love for the people of Fairdale.  He is so energetic and excited about what he  has seen God do among the young people of Fairdale.

In 2005, while still a student at the seminary in Louisville and while still serving at First Baptist Church Fairdale, Josh married his Ecuadorian  wife Valeria, whom he had met at North Greenville College in SC and who was also studying at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.    Together, they continued serving and loving the youth of Fairdale.  In 2006, Josh obtained his Master of Divinity in Missions, Evangelism and  Church Growth from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Later that same year, Josh and Valeria decided to move from Louisville to  Fairdale to be more involved in the community.  They now have two sons, Joshua Carl, Jr., “JJ” (2 years old) and Eli (9 months old).  They love  being a part of the community and enjoy taking family walks around Fairdale in the evenings.

Josh and Valeria both have passionate hearts for ministry. Together they have now been discipling teenagers in Fairdale for six years, and they  have formed many meaningful relationships over the years. Also, they are both strongly interested in international ministry.  Josh has been on several short-term mission trips to various countries and Valeria has either lived or served in many parts of the world.  They desire to see FBC Fairdale become more and more of a missions-minded church.

Josh and Valeria’s whole lives are committed to following Jesus Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to work through them in order to show Jesus Christ as an all-satisfying treasure to others, that they too may embrace and follow Him.
