Church Leadership

Meet the Franks Family

Pastor Josh has served as the Lead Pastor at First Alliance since 2016. He and his wife, Jenn, love to explore the Columbus food scene looking for the best coffee, pizza, or burger. They have two teenage kids: Kate and Jack. Josh loves to talk about Jesus, help others find freedom and focus, and equip and empower people to live out their calling to serve others. He likes hiking, pickleball, and cooking for others.

In addition to his role at First Alliance, he works with the Ohio Valley District of The Christian & Missionary Alliance supporting church planting efforts in Columbus.
