About Rev. Dr. Josh Olds

Rev. Dr. Josh Olds (D.Min. Columbia International University) is an expert in church leadership and clergy/parishioner relationships. He also holds a certificate in Religious Trauma Studies from The Global Centre for Religious Research. His twin goals are to minister to people who are disillusioned by the institutional church and to make the institutional church into a place people want to gather in community.

Josh has ministered in multiple contexts on three different continents. From a Chinese-American church in Oklahoma to an Anglican church in England, from small-town churches in the American Midwest to gatherings on the southern coast of Australia, Josh has traveled the world sharing the progressive, hope-filled message of Jesus.
