In a heartbreaking loss felt deeply throughout the community, Pastor Josh Spurgeon, age 43, entered Heaven’s gates on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. A devoted man of God, a faithful husband, a loving father, and a friend to many, Pastor Spurgeon’s sudden passing leaves behind a void that words can scarcely fill.
Known for his unwavering dedication to preaching and teaching the Word of God, Pastor Josh served not only as a spiritual leader but as a beacon of hope, kindness, and compassion. His sermons—rooted in truth, humility, and conviction—touched the lives of countless individuals. His passion for the Gospel was evident in every message he preached, every prayer he whispered, and every life he reached.
He was greatly influenced by his father, Nicky Spurgeon, who instilled in him a deep love for Scripture and a heart for ministry from an early age. That legacy lived on powerfully through Josh’s own life and service. Those who knew him speak of a man whose faith never wavered, whose laughter lifted hearts, and whose presence brought comfort and peace.
Pastor Josh’s devotion extended beyond the pulpit. He was a loving husband whose eyes lit up when he spoke of his wife, and a proud father who often said his greatest joy was raising his children to walk in truth. His home was filled with warmth, prayer, and grace.
As the church family and the wider community grieve, they also hold tight to the hope Pastor Josh so faithfully proclaimed—that in Christ, death is not the end, but a glorious beginning. “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,” he would often remind his congregation. Now, those words ring even more true.
A memorial service will be announced in the coming days. In this time of sorrow, friends and loved ones are encouraged to remember Pastor Josh not with despair, but with gratitude—for a life poured out in service to God, and for a soul now rejoicing in eternal peace.
He fought the good fight. He finished the race. He kept the faith.
May he rest in the arms of his Savior.
