Worship Leader, Josh Ortego

I grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was raised in a christian home, where I was taught to love the Lord and serve Him with my life. It was not until I was fourteen that I really felt called to serve in the area of worship. I had always wanted to play the guitar, but never thought of being a worship leader. It was at a youth retreat that I felt the Lord's presence stronger than I ever had before. I knew then He was calling me to worship. Shortly after that, I became the youth worship leader at my church (knowing all of four chords), and began learning how to worship. At sixteen, I became one of the worship leaders for the main service and stayed there, until I finished high school in 2006.

Then, I attended and graduated the Revolution School of Worship in Des Peres. After my time there, in July of 2008 I went back to Louisiana and married the love of my life Haley, who is the sweetest thing you will ever meet. We moved up to O' Fallon, where we are excited to see what God is going to do here at Faith Chapel.

As for the rest of my life, I'm a huge LSU fan and will remain faithful to them no matter where I live. I love sports, especially soccer, football, and baseball. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, and just about anything outdoors (including mud riding with Chris Krouse).
