Pastors

Joshua and Tina DuBois are 5-fold pastors on the RP Apostolic Center Leadership Team. Joshua is originally from St. Louis, Missouri, and Tina is from Houston, Texas, but grew up in Los Angeles, California. Joshua and Tina met in southern California, where Joshua was stationed in the Marine Corps. They have been married for 23 years and have two adult children. 

Joshua and Tina grew up in broken, fatherless homes and were determined not to have the same for their children. However, neither knew what they needed until they met Jesus. Joshua and Tina both hungered to learn more about their relationship with Christ, and with the help of some mentors/disciple-makers, they grew quickly in their walk with Christ. Along the way, Joshua and Tina realized the need to mentor and disciple others; this brought them full circle from being disciples to disciple-makers. 

Joshua and Tina explored many short-term mission trips, which led them to full-time mission work in Thailand (for 3 years) after Ron Estes of Breath of God International Outreach in Greenville, North Carolina, ordained them in 2016. Joshua and Tina have served in multiple facets of ministry, including children and youth ministries, men and women fellowship, cell group leaders, deacons, and associate pastors. Marriage ministry and per-material counseling have also been a passion for both. Tina has also been trained in Saving your Marriage Before it Starts (SYMBIS) and Prepare/Enrich. Tina is also a pastoral counselor at RP and it currently writing her dissertation for a doctor of education degree in Community Care and Counseling with a cognate and traumatology.
