Youth Director Josh Catour
Josh and his wife, Ashley, took over the youth ministry of Mt. Olive Missionary Church in June of 2008, right after they were married.  They are expecting their first child in July of 2010.  Josh has a passion for helping kids grow closer to Christ.  As a teenager, Josh spent time in several youth groups in the Peoria area.  These experiences helped form the cornerstone of his faith. 

Josh's favorite past-time is going fishing with his wife, his buddies, or all by himself!  His favorite television shows are Baseball Tonight and River Monsters.  Josh's all time favorite movie is The Natural.  He loves to listen to the lyrics of the David Crowder Band.  Josh enjoys discussing the spiritual relevancy of music and movies.  Josh is also avid reader of Francis Chan, Mark Driscoll, and Louie Giglio.
