Christ Church United Methodist

Christ Church United Methodist has a long history of social justice work, and a long history of resistance to unjust rules and situations. Christ Church is a Reconciling Congregation, and we affirm our call to be in community and ministry with all people of all races, sexualities, gender identities, physical conditions, and ages. We all are on a spiritual journey and we want all people to know they are welcome here.

We, the community of Christ Church United Methodist know that grace cannot be constrained by the flawed legislation of the special General Conference 2019. We have not and will not
abide by the restrictions the Book of Discipline has placed on the inclusion of LBGTQIA+ people in the full life of the United Methodist Church, in our community of faith, or in our lives. We will continue to affirm and offer the Church’s blessing to any prepared couple desiring Christian marriage. We join with people of faith everywhere in calling for full equality and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the life of the Church.

I was blessed to join Christ Church in your grace-filled work of radical inclusion and cutting-edge theology in July 2021. With 15+ years in diverse ministry settings, I bring an international perspective and passion for reimagining the Church for our generation. Like you, I wear many hats: pastor, coach, author, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and colleague. Raised near the Appalachian Mountains of South Carolina, I worked in corporate litigation and human resources/recruiting after college. After my MBA program, I worked in executive search for 10 years before leaving the corporate world of Munich, Germany in 2011. I moved to the Colorado Rockies, attended Iliff School of Theology (2011-2014), received a Master of Divinity (sounds cool, eh?), married a wonderful local man and had 2 kids, and was ordained an Elder in Full Connection by the (now) Mountain Sky Conference in 2016. Most recently I pastored in Windsor, CO (4 years), Sandy, UT (1 year), Lyons, CO (3 years), and Erie,CO (1 year). I am excited to see what's up Godsleeve for our new shared adventure! We welcome you to join us, get connected, and find a place where you are deeply loved, truly welcomed, and strongly encouraged to question, doubt, express, pray, practice, and deepen your faith. We'll be here with you through it all...
