  • Joel Bundick - Senior Pastor

    Pastor Joel  has served as Community of Grace’s lead pastor since 2009. Joel has a genuine love for people and helping people to focus on who God has created them to be. He appreciates the caring community of COG and the sincerity of its people in their passion for God’s Word. He considers the friendships he’s developed here to be some of the richest of his life. Joel and his wife Catherine have two grown sons, both of whom live in the Denver area with their wives. When he’s not spending time with his family or the people of COG, you’ll often find Joel in his kayak out at Quincy Reservoir hoping for some naïve bass to hit his line. He also enjoys woodworking and smoking meat.

  • Christopher Hart - Associate Pastor

    Pastor Chris and his wife Melanie have been members of COG since 2006.

Chris served as an elder for many years before being called into full-time ministry in the spring of 2019. Chris and Melanie, married for over thirty years, have three adult children and two grandchildren.  Chris enjoys hiking, grilling, watching movies, reading, and spending time with his family and friends.

  • Samantha Sloan - Children's Director

    Samantha Sloan is our children’s ministry director. She and her husband Josh were looking for a church where they would find support and community in which to raise their children; they found that at COG in 2017. Having been a homeschool kid herself, Samantha has the joy of homeschooling her two young children. In her free time, you’ll typically find Samantha reading a book, hosting family dinner and game nights, or spending time with friends. As children’s director, she looks forward to watching the children of the community come to faith, grow in faith, and share their faith. She’s also excited to grow as God works in her, knowing there are many things God will teach her through her work with our children.
