This page contains stories of transformation as told by our students and alumni, as well as some other featured videos about Denver Seminary.

Pain and a Loving God

Following a Call to Pastoral Ministry

Tim Cho is a current Denver Seminary student pursuing an MDiv and following his call to pastoral ministry. While working with local high school students, Tim began to see the need to disciple them further. He and his wife, April, began a Sunday afternoon church service specifically for them as a way to reach out in a loving way. 

 

Serving with The Navigators

Doug Nuenke is a 1987 MDiv graduate, and some years later (2007) an DMin graduate. He is the president of The Navigators US, an international, interdenominational Christian ministry established in 1933. The Navigators help people "navigate" life by establishing life-on-life mentoring—or discipling—relationships with them, equipping them to make an impact on those around them for God's glory.

 

Light in Darkness

Rev. Pedro Martinez (MA diploma, '89) is a native of Cuba. He is the founder and pastor of Iglesia Cristiana Amor in Miami, Florida, and is the founder and president of H.O.P.E. in Miami Beach, a non-profit, faith-based organization that works to reduce homelessness in the city of Miami Beach.

A Jazz-Shaped Faith

Robert Gelinas is lead pastor of Colorado Community Church and a Jazz Theologian. He is also the author of the book, Finding the Groove: Composing a Jazz-Shaped Faith. Robert is transforming the way many Christians think about faith in reclaiming this uniquely American art form that finds its roots in the church.

The jazz band in this video is a part of the Aurora campus of Colorado Community Church, and the footage and music are from a Sunday morning service.

Bearing Fruit for Him

Lizz was an MA Counseling (licensure) student. She feels called to provide counseling services to adolescents and children in the war-torn countries in Africa. In seeing parallels in her life to a barren tree, she felt called to study at Denver Seminary and begin bearing fruit by sharing God's healing to those who desperately need it.

Head & Heart

Emily feels called to be a Bible professor and loves how Denver Seminary's professors have not only given her good examples of how to teach, but have opened her eyes to the Bible, how to apply it, and how to see it through the eyes of others.

Creation & Formation

Nathan was an MDiv student at Denver Seminary. He feels called to be a pastor and strongly believes that God's Creation can play an important role in our spiritual formation.
