JOSH LEEMON

Area Representative

Josh Leemon grew up in Marissa, IL where attended HS and competed in cross country. He was involved with FCA during school, and made the decision to give his life to Christ at FCA Guy's Weekend of Champions.


Shortly after, he felt the call to ministry. He led FCA at Marissa before joining the Army Reserve and starting college at Greenville University pursuing a degree in Theology and Biblical Study. In college, he ran cross country, assisted with FCA, and took on the role of a student chaplain.


His college career ended short, as God then directed him overseas to the Middle East to serve on a deployment as Religious Affairs Specialist.


Through this experience, Josh knew God was calling him to leave college and go into full time ministry, leaving his hometown and state, to serve FCA Ozark Gateway.
