Meet Our Staff

Rev. Joseph "Josh" Acton is the Sr. Pastor for ACTS Church. He has pastored Episcopal and Anglican churches for over 20 years.

 "For some time I have dreamed of a ministry of which I could come alongside any and all groups who simply want Jesus and him alone. I think 
        I can most authentically live out my calling by simply being a disciple among disciples, seeking to use any gifts I may have as a pastor to bring 
        others closer to Jesus, regardless of their affiliation or non-affiliation.  So I have recommitted myself as a pastor and teacher and to the ministry 
        of making and equipping disciples of Jesus without being a representative of a particular denominational body."    

Rev. Josh has long been a leader in the Healing Ministry. He is the Executive Director of Desert Call Ministries, a teaching and conference ministry focused on equipping disciples of Jesus Christ for the ministries of healing and renewal.

He is the founder and former Executive Director of the Center for Christian Healing, a Diocesan Ministry to the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas, TX. He is on the North American Board for the International Order of St. Luke the Physician and is a former Director of Region 7 (Western States) for the Order of St. Luke. He is also Chaplain and Spiritual Director for the San Diego Inland Chapter of OSL. He leads retreats and conferences on healing and spiritual renewal across the country. Josh is author of A Powerful Joy: Lessons in Healing (Bethany Press International, 2008) and co-author of Spirit Walk (White River Press, 2000.)
