Meet Our Lead Pastor

Josh McPherson and his wife, Sharon, led the team of families who planted Grace City Church in 2008 and have continued to build a strong and growing church family, known for its genuine, generous, and life-giving culture.

Josh has a passion for drawing greatness out of leaders, for Jesus' sake, and architecting teams that work together for big things that matter. Known for straight-forward, unapologetic preaching and clear, visionary leadership, Josh has helped Grace City Church grow to serve leaders and pastors alike.

Prior to planting Grace City, Josh enjoyed stints working in real estate, construction, and law enforcement, as well as leading youth retreats and founding Rock Solid, a youth leadership conference. All these before his wife looked at him one day and said, “Seriously, when are you going to do full-time with your life what God put you on earth to do?”  They sold their house and planted Grace City that spring...and haven't looked back.

Josh and Sharon love the Wenatchee Valley. They live with their four children—Ella Mae, Levi, Amelia, and Gideon—in a farmhouse they built in the middle of a pear orchard.

Our Story

On a Sunday afternoon in 2008, ten families sat in a circle and asked one terrifying question: “Should we really plant a church?” The risk seemed high, the cost great, and the work really, really hard. But 16 months of prayer and study had led to this defining moment. God was igniting a passion to bless Wenatchee and see more people meet, love, and follow Jesus.

One-by-one, hands went up around the circle. It was unanimous.

Grace City Church was born that day.

Marked by practical, straight-forward preaching; joy-filled, passionate worship; and warm-hearted, genuine people who cared more about where you are going than where you came from, Grace City has not stopped growing.

From the beginning, our focus has been to love those not yet in the room. Since that Sunday in 2008, we have baptized 667 new believers in Jesus Christ. We have helped plant multiple churches, equipped & trained dozens of pastors, and given over a million dollars away to our community, church plants, missionaries, and local non-profits. And we have big dreams to do a lot more.

We encourage you to experience for yourself how fulfilling life can be when it’s lived with people you love, doing things that matter, for something (someone) bigger than yourself.

Our Mission

We exist to help more people meet, love, and follow Jesus.
So that lives and legacies might be transformed as more people know God, live free, and do good in the world God made.
