God willing, Bishop David Bryan (South Carolina Area Bishop for the Diocese of the Carolinas) will ordain Josh Lake to the sacred order of priests at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, January 19 at The Chapel of The Church of the Cross, Bluffton.

Josh is blessed to have been born into a Christian home, with parents who ensured the Church was a priority. He and Bethany are passionate about missions and discipleship and are deeply convinced that the Gospel is the only hope for those who are lost and perishing around the world and in our neighborhoods. A child of the Southern Baptist Convention, Josh learned from them a deep reverence for Scripture and its place of primacy in the life of the Church and the believer. Those formative years in Sunday School, VBS, and congregational worship, time at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and opportunities to pastor in different SBC contexts have left an indelible imprint on his life and ministry.

Josh and Bethany began making their way down the Canterbury Trail three years ago, and after serving SBC churches in pastoral ministry for the last 17 years, Josh, Bethany, and their four children are thankful to have finally found a home in the Anglican Church in North America.
