Meet the Long Family

Joshua, Brianna, Weston, and Kailey

Joshua's Testimony

My name is Joshua Long, and we are the Long family called to plant a church in Buckeye, AZ. I grew up attending Temple Baptist Church in El Dorado, KS, pastored by Ron Jones. I was saved at the age of 13 and then surrendered to preach at the age of 19 while attending Silver State Baptist Youth Camp. I graduated from Heartland Baptist Bible College in 2020 and started on staff at Buchanan Avenue Baptist Church in Sioux City, IA. After a few years, God called my family to Arizona, where I have served as a church planting intern at First Baptist Bible Church, pastored by Scott Naill, since 2023. While living in Arizona, God showed the need and worked in my heart to plant a church in Buckeye, Arizona.

Brianna's Testimony

My name is Brianna Long, and I grew up in a godly home my whole life. I attended Buchanan Avenue Baptist Church as I grew up, and I was saved at the age of 11 at Silver State Baptist Youth Camp. I attended Heartland as well, and that is where I met Josh. We got married in 2020 and worked together at my home church until 2023. God moved in our lives and led us to Glendale, AZ, to work on staff at our sending church. We have learned so much and are excited as God leads us through this next chapter in our lives.
