Born and raised in Chicago, Rob accepted Christ as savior at 9 years old, and is a graduate of Trinity Bible College.  Rob then served for 5 years as the youth pastor on the North side of Chicago in the Evangelical Free Church. He then moved to Steamboat Springs, CO, with his wife and two children in June of 1982.  After 7 years of ministry, he was asked to pastor a small Bible Church in Steamboat where he stayed for 18 years, and has since retired from the job, but not the preaching.  Rob is currently enjoying being the grandfather of four and great-grandfather to one.  Rob & his wife Lynn will be married 52 years this November.

In between, you “must” be born again, and we “must” all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, are there some “musts”, for those who desire to experience what Jesus calls “the abundant life”? We will explore what it means to know Christ personally, and what it means to experience His purpose for us.  Phil. 3 & II Cor. 4&5

Erika is originally from Wisconsin and has been living in Colorado for the last seven years. She and her husband, Luke, have been married for six years and both serve on staff at Calvary Wellspring Church in Aurora, Colorado. She has a passion for studying the Bible and will be graduating with a Masters in
Biblical and Theological Studies from Denver Seminary this spring. She loves all things having to do with the mountains so she cannot wait to grow to know Jesus more by studying the Bible alongside women during the Refresh retreat this summer!

In an ever-changing culture that prioritizes novel trends and fast-paced lives, there is an invitation for a different way: one that is rooted, grounded, and abounding. Join us this summer as we dive into the book of Colossians where we will discover the unchanging One, Jesus Christ, and how He forms the bedrock of our identities and lives, providing rest for our souls.
