Josh Carlson is the Associate Pastor of Calvary Chapel Kampala in Kampala, Uganda and the Site Pastor for Kololo campus.
Born and raised in the state of Montana, Josh came to a Calvary Chapel as a 18-year-old non-Christian. He met Jesus, got baptised, and after a stint at Youth With A Mission and Calvary Chapel Bible College he arrived at Uganda in March 2002.
Over the next 8 years, Josh became a pastor and helped found Calvary Chapel Bible College Uganda and shepherd Calvary Chapel Kampala's tremendous growth. During the summer of 2009, Josh was commissioned as Site Pastor of the Kololo campus where he preaches most weekends. You can find content from Pastor Josh on the Calvary Chapel Kampala website.
Natalie, Pastor Josh's wife, was born in Singapore and raised in England where she met Jesus in 2002 in London's corporate world. Wanting more of life and God, Natalie came to Uganda with Oasis in May 2002 to work with vulnerable girls at the Bambejja project. After a stint at All Nations Christian College, her and Josh were married in 2005. They have one child: Gemma.
"It is our calling and desire to enjoy and follow Jesus faithfully," Pastor Josh writes, "and to lead our friends here at the church into the same."
