Max Huss

Community Pastor

As Community Pastor, Max is excited to build and cultivate community-rich ministry at Garden City. He oversees our Deacon Team, college ministry, and communications.

Max was born in Cincinnati, OH, and has slowly moved west throughout his life, settling in San Jose. He was raised in a Christian family, and throughout high school and college, God gave him mentors that showed him what an authentic relationship with Christ looks like. Max graduated from SJSU with a Bachelor’s in Fine Art while serving as the worship leader for Cru. He married his high school sweetheart Ashley in May 2022 and began his Master’s in Ministry and Leadership at Western Seminary in January ‘23. Max and Ashley live in Cambrian Park. Max is passionate about creating structures where everyone can know and enjoy the Lord and find community.

When he’s not talking with people or making music, he’s drinking coffee, riding his bike, or playing with spreadsheets.
