Josh Scharmann

Director of Worship and Youth

My wife Acelyn and I have been married since 2016, and we have two daughters, Casey and Dani. I have been serving on staff at Ripon Grace in various ministries since 2019. My passion for serving in ministry is seeing unified souls chasing after Jesus. My desire is to serve God faithfully where He has called me, to His glory.

I came to know and love Jesus at an early age.  Since then, I am continually amazed at the infinite depths of His love and grace.  My husband Charles and I have four sons, two daughters-in-law and four adorable grandchildren.  We are grateful for each day.

My husband Roman and I have attended Ripon Grace Church since 2013. We have loved all of the ministries we have been involved in over the years such as Grace Kids, Grace Coffee, and Small Groups. We have two little boys, Carson and Ryker, who are often wandering the church halls with their friends. I now serve as the bookkeeper for Ripon Grace.
