Josh grew up in Southern California and graduated from Biola University with a B.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies and a minor in Communication Studies. He began as a Pastoral Intern at Rose Drive the fall of 2018 and then stepped into High School Ministry leadership in March 2019. God has given Josh a deep desire for students and people of all kinds to know that they are loved and prized in the eyes of Christ. Josh is newly married to Felicia and they reside in Placentia.
Some of Josh’s interests include the hardcore/punk music scene, baseball, basketball, hockey, watching Formula 1 Racing, and football. He is so excited to continue to do life with HSM students as their High School Pastor and is looking forward to the opportunities to love, support, and equip them as they continue to grow personally and in Christ.

Join us this summer as we experience what God has for us at summer camp! We are excited, hopeful, and expectant for how God is going to work in the lives of our students and leaders this summer. God has opened up this door for camp, but even if that door closes, we will still praise Him! If camp is cancelled due to the pandemic, you will receive a full refund.
Registration opens Sunday, February 21, through May 30, or until all limited spots are claimed.
Cost: $720/student – A $150 non-refundable deposit reserves your spot! Price includes van transportation.
Cost breakdown: Pay for camp in full or make the $150 deposit and four $142.50 payments. Additional payments are due March 31, April 30, May 31, and June 16. (All payments are non-refundable unless camp is cancelled due to the pandemic.)
Scholarship details: If you want to lower the cost of camp for your child, Hume Camperships are the way for you!

At the end of your Hume Medical Form questions (Not RDF Medical Form), there will be a place to select whether or not you would like to apply for a Campership.
