  • week ONE :: josh hayes

    Josh is the Pastor at Greenway Baptist Church in Boone, NC. He enjoys playing disc golf, hunting, fishing, and cutting grass (yes, it's true!). He loves to spend time with his family outdoors and enjoying a good read-aloud together on rainy days. Josh and his wife Carrie have five kids (Ryan, Scott, Josie, Caleb, and Micah) and are celebrating being just a short ways from saying goodbye to car seats forever! Josh loves to teach the Word of God and see people of all ages get excited about growing in their walks with Christ. He is excited to be at TVR this summer!
