Meet Our Team
Joshua Campbell
Hey guys, we’re the Campbells. Josh and Meliah are the grown ups in the picture. The kids are Magnolia (Right, ‘23), Charlotte (Left, ‘23), and Bella (Meliah’s Belly, ‘25). 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 through Covenant Seminary’s hybrid MDiv program. While there, they worked with the local Young Life and RUF in Buckhannon, WV.
Josh is excited to be the Campus Minister at Carson-Newman and step into the work God has been doing through the years. We are excited to get to know students and share Good News about Jesus over coffee with too much creamer, Large Group, sporadic trips, small groups, buffalo wings, or helping us chase around crazy kids in our house.

She started going to RUF her freshman year and loved the close-knit community that points each other to Christ. Megan loves to do anything outside, including hiking, camping, and rock climbing. She is so excited to begin working for RUF and get to know the students and community at Carson-Newman!
