Joshua Campbell

Campus Director

Hi all, 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 online at Covenant Seminary’s hybrid MDiv program. While there, they worked with the local Young Life and RUF in Buckhannon, 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 are excited to know students and share the Good News about Jesus over coffee, pickle ball, hiking, or while helping us chase our kids around the hosue.
