The church had not even held its first worship service at the Outlets of Castle Rock Mall. That service was conducted on Sunday.
“It’s a great move for this church,” says Rick Mylander, associate superintendent for the Midwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC).
The church also welcomed its new pastor, Paul Lessard, who is already familiar with the area. He served as the founding administrator of Covenant Bible College – Midwest in Windsor, Colorado.
