Josh Nicholson- Director of Student Ministries
I enjoy long walks on the beach, a riveting Nicolas Sparks novel, soothing jazz music, and soft foot rubs. Some people would also describe me as a slightly sarcastic person. Some things you will actually find me doing are cheering on my favorite sports teams, playing my favorite board game, hunting, fishing, golfing, playing video games, or just hanging out with people (although the long walk on the beach followed by a soft foot rub does sound nice). I am originally from Dublin, GA, but God has given me a heart for the city of Winter Haven. Serving as the Minister to Students at Redeemer is a blast. I'm the big hairy guy. Come talk to me.
