About Us

After stepping away from my previous ministry post in January of 2020,  we have been prayerfully discerning what God is inviting us to lend our lives to for the long haul.

So, how does a Southern Baptist boy from Georgia grow up to be an Church Planting Anglican Priest in Colorado? Well…we shall see; I’m still growing. But in a word, Grace. The Spirit has been leading me back up the many fragmented tributaries of my faith to the headwaters from whence they came. I have been seeking God for the ancient path, the good way, that I might walk in it and find rest for my soul and the souls of those around me. I want to be rooted in a denomination that is large enough for me to give full expression to whom God has created me to be, but more truly I am drawn to the Anglican tradition because I feel it allows room for finite creatures to expand forever into the infinite God. I long for a parish in which I can participate in the particulars of people, place, and pace as I present them to God in prayer and present God to them in embodied presence. I want to be swept up into the trinitarian life of God and draw as many people as I can into the Great Dance of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

My wife and I discerned the call to plant a church by attending to the passion God birthed in our hearts. That passion was confirmed by people, prayer, parents, prophecy, and God’s supernatural provision in this season. The missing piece was partnership. This is where the COS Anglican Network and you come in. We are fighting back against the American Way and even our own individualistic way of doing things. We are seeking not only God’s will but God’s will, God’s way.

For a while we have been asking and wondering where our Goldilocks location lies. A place that is not too slow, not too fast…just right. For me, place and pace matter immensely. In all of this seeking and asking of the Lord, we felt God grant freedom to follow our sanctified desires and those led us to the Springs. This is the ground we want to till, the neighborhood we want to move into as we live out the embodied life of God.

Finally, (and of no spiritual significance) I grew up in the town of Zebulon in Pike County GA and only just realized that Pikes Peak was named after the explorer Zebulon Montgomery Pike. So perhaps this has been right under my nose for quite some time, but perhaps there is no place in life of which we cannot rightly say, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
