DENVER, CO - January 30, 2026 - St. John’s Church Denver continues to thrive under the pastoral leadership of Pastor Andrew Farhat, whose ministry reflects a lifelong journey of transformation, faith, and service. As Lead Pastor of St. John’s Church and School Denver, Farhat brings a deep commitment to preaching, teaching, and community outreach grounded in Scripture.
Born in Seattle, Washington, Andrew Farhat’s life and faith journey began in a close-knit Lebanese-American family. During his time at the University of Washington, God gave Andrew a new beginning and faith, setting him on a new course toward pastoral ministry. He later earned his Master of Divinity from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, where he developed a strong foundation in theology and biblical languages.
Following his graduation in 2009, Pastor Farhat began his ministry at St. Paul Lutheran Church and School in Roseburg, Oregon. There, he helped guide the congregation through a time of renewal and reconciliation, focusing on outreach, fiscal responsibility, and biblically grounded leadership.
In 2018, Pastor Farhat received a Divine Call to join St. John’s Church Denver as campus pastor for the Wash Park site. His leadership and faithfulness during that season led to his appointment as Lead Pastor for the church and school in 2021. Under his guidance, St. John’s has continued to grow as a multi-site ministry with an enduring focus on family discipleship, education, and global missions.
“Pastor Farhat’s ministry has been marked by both humility and clarity,” said one member. “His leadership has strengthened our congregation and renewed our mission to bring the Gospel to Denver and beyond.”
Beyond the pulpit, Pastor Farhat’s ministry extends through modern media. From 2022 to 2024, he co-hosted Transformed, a podcast featuring faith-based discussions with his wife Daisy and members of the St. John’s staff. The program included nearly 90 episodes, with one featuring the Christian rapper FLAME. Looking ahead, Andrew Farhat plans to launch a new five-minute daily podcast in 2026 designed to offer short reflections and biblical encouragement.
Family remains central to Pastor Farhat’s life and ministry. He and Daisy live in Denver with their four children, actively participating in church and community life. Together, they enjoy exploring Denver’s food scene, outdoor recreation, and spending time with their congregation.
At St. John’s Church Denver, Pastor Farhat continues to emphasize the transformative power of the Gospel, echoing the same grace that shaped his own life. His ministry calls people to faith and action—serving families, supporting missions, and cultivating a church community centered on Christ.
