Lead Pastor: Pat
Me and God - I grew up in the Catholic faith but never embraced "religion". After 20 years of living a "party lifestyle" I came to realize there was more to life than waking up with a hang over, smoking a joint, and popping pills--just to do it all over again the next night. I had looked for joy everywhere except where God wanted me to. When I finally gave in and gave Jesus a chance...everything changed. He turned my life around so dramatically that I know there is hope for everyone and I love to share my story with others.
Family - Winnie and I married straight out of high school and have been together for over 30 years now. We have two girls who are now grown and making their own way in life. We have also been blessed with two more daughters who needed a good home. We love kids!
My day job - I have the world's greatest job...serving with the team that is building Faith Mountain!
What floats my boat - camping, hiking, skiing (both snow and water), my family.
Hometown - Rapid City, SD
How did I get here? - My father's job back in 1966. Winnie and I spent 22 years in the Air Force all over the world and returned to Denver in 1996.
Favorite movie - Hmmm...Lord of The Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Remember the Titans, Star Wars-- all rank pretty high with me.
Last book I read/favorites - "Intimacy with the Almighty" by Charles Swindoll and "Chasing Daylight" by Erwin McManus

Life verse from Bible - Just one? Phillippians 4:13 - "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." - Ephesians 3:20 (Message) - "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!" - Psalm 18:1-2 (Amplified) - "I love you fervently and devotedly, O Lord, my Strength. The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my keen and firm Strength in Whom I will trust and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower."
Before I die I want to - sky dive, scuba dive, share my love for Jesus with as many people as humanly possible.

If money was no object I would… -Take a cruise vacation at least twice a year with my entire family.
