Our Mission

Furthering the mission of Joshua Glynn

A music ministry born from a young man's love of God — and a family's faithful commitment to keep that love moving forward, one heart at a time.

The mission of the Joshua Glynn Memorial Foundation is to further the legacy of Joshua Glynn — a young man with a heart for God, a love of music, and a belief in the power of both to change lives, one heart at a time. Through music-focused projects and events, we share the unconditional love of God, connect people through music, care for the forgotten, and celebrate the gift of life.

Who he was

A son. A musician.
A heart wide open.

Joshua Glynn was a gifted musician — but more than that, he was the kind of person who could walk into a room and change its temperature. Warm. Gregarious. Quick to laugh, quicker to listen. He played in bands and gathered friends around campfires; he led worship and sang with strangers in places most people will never see.

Some of his most formative moments came serving children in Haiti and Kenya — moments that showed him how music, friendship, and faith could bring real hope to communities the world often overlooks. He came home from those trips changed, and determined that the work should continue.

Joshua is no longer with us, but the people he touched still carry the sound of him. This Foundation exists so that legacy keeps growing.

Our core pillars

How we carry the work forward.

Joshua's life pointed in four directions at once — toward people, toward those the world forgets, toward gratitude, and toward the next generation of musicians. Our work follows the same compass.

Sharing God's Love

We share God's unconditional love through service, music, and welcome — meeting every community we reach with compassion and open hands.

Music That Connects

We create opportunities for people of every age and background to experience the joy of music shared in community — locally and globally.

Caring for the Forgotten

We support children and communities in places shaped by Joshua's heart for service — including continued work in Haiti and Kenya.

Celebrating Life

We honor Joshua's life by continuing the work that brings hope, opportunity, and encouragement — celebrating every life as a gift.

Mission in action

Where the mission lives today.

Joshua's heart was rooted in Plymouth and reached toward the children he met overseas. Our active programs honor both — at home and abroad.
