Meet The Pastor
Lead Pastor Josiah Graves
MEET JOSIAH + KIMBER
Josiah and Kimber Graves are The Exchange Church planters, a new church with a heart to see the Gospel renew South Florida.
The Graves are Gospel-loving, people-loving, high school sweethearts from Southern California, who began their ministry together at Calvary Chapel. Josiah had the opportunity there to serve as an intern-Pastor and to be discipled under Pastor Chuck Smith, before hearing the calling to work in Ministry in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
For the last eight years, Josiah and Kimber have served at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale in Youth Ministry and various areas of the church. Throughout their years in ministry at Calvary Chapel, they’ve felt the Lord leading them to plant a church, but have been waiting on His perfect timing. In early 2016, Josiah and Kimber began pursuing that call and seeking the Lord’s wisdom and vision as they step out in faith on this new ministry endeavor.
Together, with their two-year-old son, Micah, they have felt the call to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to the diverse cultures in South Florida and serve their community. Their passion is to see people come to know Jesus and to see the city find hope and healing in the Gospel.
