Joshua Campbell

Campus Minister

Hi all, we’re the Campbells. Josh and Meliah are the grown ups in the picture. The kids are Bella (left, ‘25), Magnolia (middle, ‘23), and Charlotte (right, ‘23). Josh and Meliah both went to West Virginia University where they met and were married in April 2019. After graduating in 2020, they interned with RUF at Middle Tennessee State University before moving back to their home state of West Virginia to pursue seminary online through Covenant Seminary’s hybrid MDiv program. While there, they worked with the local Young Life and RUF in central WV. Josh is honored to be the Campus Minister at Carson-Newman and lean into the work God has been doing through the years. We love getting to know students and sharing the Good News about Jesus over coffee, pickle ball, hiking, or while helping us chase our kids around the house.
