Rev. Lauretta Lundquist (she/her/hers)
Rev Lauretta Lundquist moved to Colorado at the age of 12 and has mostly lived there since. She met her husband in Greeley during rehearsals for a dinner theater production. Their children graduated from Boulder High, Fairview and Pomona High School and now live in Aurora, Loveland and Ft Collins, raising their own children in Colorado. Before being called into ministry, Rev Lundquist worked in education, entertainment and retail. She has worked at Coors Field in the Ticket Office and was a flight attendant for 17 years.
Throughout her varied life, Rev Lundquist has always worked directly with people. She has met many individuals, each with different customs, skills, needs and abilities. One thing she learned is that the Bible is correct: all people are made in the image of God. She believes that if you want to know God better, look in the eyes of those made in God's image.
Everything Rev Lundquist does in ministry - her sermons, outreach, pastoral visits and all administrative duties - revolves around this concept. She looks forward to getting to know each of you better, and in doing so, she will indeed know God better.
