Powhatan’s Youth ministry is headed by our Youth Pastor, Joe Gotshall. Joe has several years of experience as a Youth Pastor, Associate Pastor, Chaplain, and Counselor, and he has a Masters of Divinity in Christian Education.
Joe meets regularly with our advisory Youth Council, consisting of Wanda Benson, Kim Barnes, Ty Lumley, and Cynthia Narron. Together, Joe and the Youth Council are exploring and reviewing comprehensive programs of Christian education for our Youth.
