Josh is the lead pastor of Restoration Hope Church. God did a 180 in Josh’s life when He was 17 years old and put people in his life who modeled a life that was centered around Jesus. He planted RHC with the desire to create a church culture that has the aroma of the gospel. He wants to help people see that Jesus designed Christians to be everyday people who are everyday disciple makers, and it really is that simple. He is married to Lindsay and has four children: Soren, Bear, Flo, and Juni. He and the fam love reading books, playing video games, watching good movies, exercising, and eating good food.

He now resides in Cottage Grove with his wife and their four children, and he loves spending time with them, whether it’s playing board games, staying active with sports, or enjoying the outdoors together. In his spare time, Jeremiah enjoys tackling DIY projects and woodworking.  His wife claims he has a dozen or more halfway finished house projects in progress at any given time ;)

Jason serves as an elder, worship leader, and treasurer at Restoration Hope Church. Jason grew up in a Christian household and has believed in Jesus as Savior since he was a teen, but it wasn’t until after college that God began to radically transform his heart and life. It was then that God opened Jason’s eyes to the glory of Jesus and His call for Christians to live as disciples of Jesus. Jason joined RHC in 2024 out of a desire to walk alongside others in deeply knowing and growing in love for Jesus Christ. Jason is married to Sarah, the love of his life, and they have four awesome kids: Levi, Titus, Mercy, and Kyah. Their family loves watching and playing sports (MN Twins + GB Packers = ♥), reading, cooking (and eating) good food, and playing board and video games together. Outside of RHC, Jason spends most of his time at his day job working in finance for a nonprofit organization and occasionally dabbles in other local scenes like music and politics.
