We strive to provide leadership that equips our faith community to live active lives of faith and service.

Pastor Todd Hawkins

Pastor Todd Hawkins loves Jesus and loves Christ's church. He believes that nothing in all creation (especially no person) is outside of Christ's loving redemption. By grace we have been saved, and by grace we live together day to day. Todd, a Colorado resident for nearly 20 years, also serves Prince of Peace Lutheran in Denver, is loosely affiliated with First Lutheran in Longmont (where he lives), and has served other congregations in Denver and Minnesota (where he's from). He was a newspaper reporter for a decade prior to his graduation from Luther Seminar in 2002. He shares his life with Alice, his black lab, who at times keeps him company around church. Todd is a widower and the father of a wonderful and talented college student. In his spare time, he follows the news, reads, listens to music and plays guitar. Music helps keep his sanity in a world that sometimes misses out on creative arts.
