Expedition Host

Pastor Josh O’Connor has served in church ministry for the past decade with much of his experience pastoring the next generation (and their families). Josh served on in Lakeland, Florida as a NextGen Pastor for the 10 years prior to assuming the role of lead pastor of Greenville First in September of 2018. Brittani served as an elementary teacher and adjunct professor before joining the team full time in 2020.

Josh and Brittani love to reach the lost by loving people where they are and striving to point them to Jesus. They both grew up in Greenville and their hearts are so full serving the people of that great city.

They love to spend time with their boys, travel, explore new restaurants, college football games, and are over the moon to welcome baby boy #3 to the family in the fall of 2022.
