Leadership

Hello. Thank you for your interest in Stone Bridge Bible Church. My name is Josh Barlow. I am the lead pastor at Stone Bridge. I was born and raised in North Jersey. I have enjoyed serving NJ through local church ministry for more than 20 years as a youth director, camp counselor, and family pastor.

In 2015 I was called to serve at Green Pond Bible Chapel as a lay elder; shortly after, I was called to serve GPBC as the Family Pastor, and just a year later I graduated from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with my MDiv. It has been my passion, joy, and gift to teach and disciple the younger generation, and yet, over the past 6 years, my desire to lead a local church has grown and has now come to fruition in planting Stone Bridge Bible Church.

Here is a little more about my passion to pastor: I desire to make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ by shepherding others towards a greater understanding of God’s love and life for them in the gospel of Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, Gal 2:20); encouraging others in the faith that has been delivered to the saints according to Scripture (Jude 1:3, 2 Tim 3:16-17); and furthering joyful fellowship and faithfulness in the home (Deut 6:4-9) and church (Eph 3:10) to display God’s glory and gospel.

I am happily married to my wonderful wife, Jamie (also born and raised in North Jersey). God has blessed us with 4 very energetic and fantastically unboring children.

Please, feel welcome to reach out to me with any questions you may have at jbarlow@greenpondbible.org. I hope to see you at Stone Bridge Bible Church this upcoming January.
God bless!
