Pastor Joel A. Urshan is the great-grandson of the early twentieth century Apostolic pioneer, Andrew David Urshan who was born in Persia, modern day Iran. His great-grandfather preached this Apostolic message in Russia at the beginning of the Russian Revolution. There are saints and churches in Russia today who call themselves “Urshanites” in respect to Brother Andrew who was the first one to preach this Apostolic-Pentecostal message in Russia.

Pastor Joel Andrew Urshan comes from a long line of Apostolic preachers. His grandfather, Bishop Nathaniel A. Urshan, pastored for over twenty-five years at Calvary Tabernacle in Indianapolis, Indiana, before answering the call to leadership of the United Pentecostal Church, International, as the General Superintendent. His father, Elder Nathaniel Paul Urshan pastored for many years in Kokomo, Indiana, where Joel served as co-pastor before moving to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Pastor Joel Urshan preached his first sermon at the age of eleven and he has been preaching the Apostolic message for the last twenty years. He is the pastor of the First Apostolic Church in Cincinnati which was founded by Bishop Frank E. Curts in 1925. He and his wife, Heidi and two daughters, reside in Mason, Ohio.

Pastor Stark is a preacher by vocation and a farmer by avocation. While he doesn’t get to do much farming in the city, his farm boy roots do seem to come out in his preaching. Until he was in fifth grade, he lived with his maternal grandparents, Pastor J. Harper & Lottie Rose. Life in the Rose household, marked by extensive prayer and fasting, made an indelible mark on Pastor’s young life. He is a graduate of Linsly Military Institute, Ohio University, and Jackson College of Ministries. After JCM, he did missions work in Korea for a short time, and returned to the U.S. where he travelled as an evangelist until 1977 when he married Christine. They have three children and two “great” grandchildren.

In March of 1993, on the morning of Calvary’s first annual World Missions Conference, God made Pastor this promise; if you’ll reach for the world, I’ll give you this city. That Sunday morning, as the church family renewed its commitment to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world, God began to do His part. Pastor was already heavily involved in the cause of Foreign Missions, but a new door opened when International Evangelist Billy Cole invited him to travel with him to Ethiopia. Over a period of eight years, they saw hundreds of thousands of people receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and witnessed a repetition of every miracle recorded in the Book of Acts. The passion to reach the world has not diminished, and God is still keeping His Word – all Columbus will hear the Gospel.
