Greetings!  And thank you for your interest in St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church.  If you do not have a previous spiritual commitment, I hope you will consider visiting St. John’s to worship with us.  Our worship style is Anglican in an informal setting appropriate to life in the mountains, and our musical worship is eclectic.  We like to say that we are rooted in tradition, but not stuck in it. We are a friendly community.  Although we are diverse in our views—cultural, political, and theological, these differences do not divide us, but rather provide an opportunity to show how Christians are to live together despite differences. 
            I am excited to serve as the Interim Priest at St. John’s during this period of preparation and transition in the life of the congregation. I have served congregations in California and Colorado, and am a practicing spiritual director.  If you have questions about St. John’s or some aspect of the congregation’s ministry please contact through this website or by phone (970) 887-2742.

St. John's is blessed with the ministry of Deacon Diane Bielski, whose servant ministry in the community is brought to the congregation, presenting opportunities for service and eliciting their own faithful response of servant ministry through living out the promises of our Baptismal Covenant.       
St. John’s honors and nurtures our Christian life together in an atmosphere of good humor and faithful acceptance.  Whether you are a life time Episcopalian, seeker, skeptic, or something in between, you will be welcomed here.  Come journey with us!

            Fr. Michael
