Josh French – SPEAKER
Josh French is the Director of Cokesbury Students at Cokesbury United Methodist Church. He has been a full-time youth worker for nearly 20 years with prior positions in Gatlinburg, TN and Raleigh, NC before returning to his native East Tennessee and his current church in Knoxville. In addition to his role in the local church, Josh has also been the emcee for his conference-level event (Resurrection) and founded the Youth Worker Collective – an annual day of community-building and learning with fellow student ministers.
He’s a husband and a father of two. A mid-handicap golfer and wishes he read more books but would rather watch the movie. He loves telling “Dad Jokes” and is probably wearing a tie-dye t-shirt right now. To the best of his knowledge, he has won no major awards since high school, written zero books, and has no merch to sell during Revolution. Josh would rather have a good time than take himself too seriously, but he is very intentional about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
