Pastor Payton believes the most important thing he can tell you about himself is that he LOVES Jesus. He is addicted to seeing lost people come to know Jesus, and seeing Jesus’ people grow in their love for Him. Payton has been married to his beautiful wife, Lyndsi since 2013, and they have 5 beautiful children: Micah, Elijah, Miriam, Samuel and Lydia.
Payton joined our team in August of 2023, before coming to JMC he and Lyndsi served as missionaries to an apartment community in Southwest Fort Worth, and he worked in digital advertising sales for two different national media companies. He is currently attending Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University.
When he’s not at the church, Payton loves playing with his family, watching his kids’ sports games, cheering for the Dallas Cowboys and the LSU Tigers, and going on dates with his beautiful wife.
Most importantly: Payton would LOVE to meet you. Call up to the office and schedule some time. He’d love to buy you coffee.

Hi! I am so blessed to serve as the Children’s Ministry Director at Joshua Methodist Church, a church I have called home for 41 years! I grew up here, from Sunday School to Youth, and now I have the joy of helping the next generation grow in their faith. Before stepping into this role, I spent three years working as a helper in a church daycare, which helped grow my love for serving children. My heart is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where every child feels welcome, learns about Jesus, and builds a solid foundation of faith. I do not mind making a fool of myself if it means making a child laugh and helping them grow closer to Christ! One of the things I love most about Joshua Methodist is my church family, and it is a big reason this church will always hold such a special place in my heart. Outside of church, I have been married since 2023, and my husband, Russ, and I enjoy playing board games, watching British comedy shows, and spending time with our two Shih Tzus, Scooter and Snickerdoodle. I am excited to serve our children, encourage our families and volunteers, and share God’s love one little heart at a time!
