Reverend Joshua Davinsizer
Senior Pastor
Rev. Joshua Davinsizer is a Pennsylvania native who was born and raised in Bellwood. He comes to Baughman UMC with a passion and enthusiasm for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has a real heart for making disciples for Christ. Pastor Josh first felt his call into ministry at age five and he has pursued his call into ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church ever since.
Pastor Josh’s mission in life is to fully serve Christ in everything he does. His zeal for ministry can be summarized by Rev. John Wesley, to ‘reform the nation, particularly the church; and to spread scriptural holiness over the land.’
Pastor Josh believes that it is by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the blessing of our Heavenly Father, that we are called together to build the Kingdom of God in the greater New Cumberland area and fulfill Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
Pastor Josh graduated from Lycoming College in 2012 and received a Master of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary in 2015. He lives with his best friend, Indiana Jones (better known as Indy), his favorite Welch Corgi.
