Josh and Erica Filmore

#1204073

Hey friend! We’re the Filmores!

We’re Joshua and Erica—married 18 years, blessed with three adventurous kiddos (Emma Grace, Wyatt, and Addie Rose), and crazy about game nights, fishing poles, and good movies. 

God has put a fire in our hearts to serve marriages and families, so we’re joining FamilyLife, a ministry of Cru, as full-time local missionaries.


Why we’re stepping out in faith

Families shape neighborhoods, churches, and whole communities. When a husband and wife walk with Jesus, the ripple of grace reaches kids, neighbors, and even the next generation. 

We’ve seen how God uses our story—through highs, lows, and plenty of laughs—to remind couples that Christ can hold any home together. Now we want to give our best hours to that mission, not just our evenings and weekends.


What we’ll be doing

  • Pursuing what matters most—Jesus at home. Over kitchen-table chats and coffee-shop meet-ups, we’ll share the gospel with couples and invite them to build their homes on Christ.
  • Discipling families to disciple others. We’ll walk with parents and spouses, handing them simple studies, date-night ideas, and quick-hit videos they can use—and pass to friends.
  • Sparking a local movement. By coaching everyday leaders, we’ll see backyards, parks, and neighborhood groups turn into hubs of hope until “Every Home is a Godly Home.”

Each step means another home gets to hear—and see—the love of Jesus. Every conversation, event, and video is another chance to see hearts healed and hope restored.


Where you come in

Like every Cru missionary, we build a team of financial partners to cover our salary and ministry expenses. We can’t go full-time without you.

  • Monthly or annual giving keeps us on the field.
  • One-time gifts jump-start projects and training.
  • Faithful prayer fuels everything we do.

No matter the amount, your generosity turns into real-life family transformation.​


​Smart ways to give (and keep Uncle Sam out of the middle)

Want your gift to stretch further?

  • Stock gifts — skip capital-gains tax and send more to ministry.
  • Donor-advised funds — bundle giving while keeping it simple.
  • IRA qualified gifts (age 70½+) — reduce taxable income and advance the gospel.
Cru Foundation specializes in tax-wise giving and would love to help you find the best fit.​

A Grateful Thank You!

From our crew—Joshua, Erica, Emma, Wyatt, and Addie Rose—thanks for considering this adventure with us. We’d love to grab coffee, swap stories, and pray with you about partnering together. Let’s build strong families that shine for Christ—one home at a time.

Your consideration of partnership fuels us with excitement and anticipation.

God Bless,

- Joshua and Erica Filmore
