Joshua Harris serves as senior pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, Md., a role he assumed in September, 2004, from C.J. Mahaney. He grew up outside Portland, Ore., and moved to Washington, D.C., ten years ago to be trained in pastoral ministry by C.J.

Josh founded and led the New Attitude conference for six years, now led by fellow pastor Eric Simmons. Josh has written several books, the latest of which is entitled Stop Dating the Church.
 
He and his wife Shannon have been married nine years and have three children.

Corby Megorden and his wife, Vilma, first visited Covenant Life Church in November of 1990. "As C.J. Mahaney preached the gospel, we clearly understood our need for a Savior and God's gracious provision of Jesus as our Savior," says Corby.

A 1979 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy (where he played ice hockey), Corby earned an M.S. from the University of Maryland in 1992. He served seven years active duty and 15 years in the Naval Reserves, retiring with the rank of captain. While pursuing a successful career in the corporate world, Corby began serving in the biblical counseling ministry at Covenant Life as a volunteer.

After the pastors asked him to consider pastoral ministry, Corby went through a two-year process of evaluation, prayer, and seeking counsel, entering the Pastors College in 2001 at age 43. Upon graduation in 2002, he joined the pastoral staff as an administrator.

Corby says he loves "the opportunity to serve the pastoral team behind-the-scenes... [and] to release them to exercise their gifts in their ministry areas."

Corby and Vilma have two daughters and reside in the Gaithersburg area.
