Meet the Lead

Joshua Derritt

Josh serves as Pastor of Discipleship here at beacon Denver, where he oversees discipleship pathways and youth development. He is passionate about raising a generation of students who  know Jesus deeply, walk confidently in their identity, and live out their faith with courage. 

Welcome

beacon College is the ministry training & theological education ministry at beacon. The College exists to prepare ministry-minded individuals for vocational ministry and provide additional discipleship teaching to all members at beacon. We believe this two-fold approach is vital to the spiritual health of the local church because it provides a greater depth in doctrinal knowledge to those currently serving and attending beacon while also preparing those who feel called to ministry with theological training and first-hand ministry experience. 

What we Do

STOKE creates environments for middle and high school students to grow spiritually and relationally. Through teaching, mentoring, worship, and service opportunities, we help students take ownership of their walk with Jesus. Our mentors invest intentionally in students, helping them feel seen, known, and supported as they navigate life and faith.

Serve With Us

Serving in STOKE is all about shaping the next generation by showing up consistently with love, patience, and encouragement. Mentors often say their lives are changed just as much as the  students, as they watch God work in real time through relationships and spiritual growth. If you’re passionate about investing in youth, this is an opportunity to make an impact that lasts far beyond a Sunday.

Ways to Serve
