Lead Pastor
Josh Harvill
Pastor Josh is fully committed to empowering families and people to find their purpose in Christ. Through his love for Jesus and the Bible, Pastor Josh leads others with humility and kindness. He shares Biblical truth through practical illustrations and caring relationships.
Pastor Josh joined the Crosswater family in the Fall of 2019 as the Children’s Pastor. Since then, he has served the church and community in multiple capacities. In December of 2023, the congregation elected Pastor Josh to serve as the Lead Pastor.
Pastor Josh met his wife Mary in college and were soon married in October of 2008. The Lord led them to adopt Hannah as a baby in 2012. Twelve months later their first son Kirk was born. The baby of the family, Rowe, was born in 2018. The Harvills love to spend time together as a family at the beach, fishing, playing card games, and of course cheering for the Georgia Bulldogs!

Missionaries: Honduras
Jeremy and Maria Foster
The Fosters have been serving in Travesía, Honduras since 2017 as valued leaders for the organization, Buena Vista Sports Academy (BVSA). Through BVSA-Honduras, the Fosters serve in a unique Caribbean coastal community comprised of mostly the Garifuna people group where they teach the gospel and serve the local community by using the world’s most popular game, soccer (fútbol). The ministry works as a soccer academy 5 days a week and assists the boys with homework, learning God’s word, soccer, hygiene and by providing meals.
Jeremy and Maria met in college where they were both active in sports. They lived in Colorado for 12 years before Jeremy’s banking career moved them to Jacksonville, FL, where they became members of Crosswater. Maria has worked in child protective services, and also as a soccer coach and trainer.
The Fosters have two sons, Alek and Jackson, who are both Rhinos in the Academy. They have also opened their home to a graduate of the program to disciple and mentor. Together as a family, they are passionate about sharing the love of Jesus, and excited to see God transform an entire community through its future husbands, dads, and leaders.
