Pastor Josh Sullivan
Born in 1985, The Rev. Joshua N. Sullivan grew up in small towns along the Connecticut River valley. He was formed first as an artist and musician living in New York City and, from these, he discerned God’s calling to the ministry of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He was trained at the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA Printmaking 2007), and has earned theological degrees from Yale Divinity School and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music (MDiv 2016) as well as United Lutheran Seminary (STM 2019). He was ordained in 2018 and has served Christ the Good Shepherd as their full time pastor since August of 2021. He, his wife Madelyn and their two daughters live in Stratford, CT.
