Douglas County commissioners meet with group out of public eye to discuss home rule proposal
Despite transparency law, all three took part in setting where public, press were excluded
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
All three Douglas County commissioners attended a private Parker Conservatives gathering at Deep Space in downtown Parker on April 2 to talk about their home-rule proposal. In a meeting that state law indicates should have been open to the public, the county spokesperson says there was no intention to hide anything at an event that explicitly advertised the fact that the general public and press were excluded from attending.
“I can say for certain there was no intention to deceive or meet in private,” said Caroline Frizell, spokesperson for Douglas County. “ is was just another opportunity for them to talk about something that is important to them.”
Frizell said the Board of County Commissioners members are invited to places all the time, sometimes as a group and sometimes individually.
“When they’re invited as a board and when the invite comes through county o ces, we can manage that and we post it,” said Frizell. “When they’re invited individually, they don’t always coordinate with sta or we aren’t always, I should say, in the loop. And so that’s what happened here.”
All three county commissioners were invited to speak at the recent Parker Conservatives meeting. e Parker Conservatives is a private group for residents in Douglas and Elbert counties, according to their private Facebook page.
In an invitation, which was provided to the Douglas County News-Press by a recipient, the group conducted a private meeting that was “exclusively reserved

Turning passion into reality
Spencer isn’t the rst in his family to take interest in the military. From a young age, he learned a lot about the military while listening to stories from his two grandfathers who were pilots in the Navy.
His passion for aviation grew as he and his twin brother attended air shows as children and participated in the Young Eagles program.

for members, a liates and guests of the conservative community,” and that “media representatives are expressly not invited to these gatherings.”
e invitation was live at tinyurl.com/pc-invite as of press time.
Concerning the Open Meetings Law, the Colorado Department of Local A airs states that all meetings of a quorum or three or more members of a body in which any public business is discussed must be open to the public.
is does not apply if there is an executive session being held or if it is a chance meeting or social gathering “at which discussion of public business is not the central purpose.”
e invitation said that the evening would involve hearing from the commissioners on the state of the county and would include a “robust” Q&A forum.
Following the commissioners’ recent approval of a resolution to pursue a home rule charter for the county, the topic of home rule was also intended to be discussed. e invitation stated: “What is home rule? Come and hear directly from our Douglas County Commissioners on how this will a ect Dougco and you.”
Additionally, the Open Meetings Law de nes a meeting as “any kind of gathering, convinced to discuss public business, in person, by telephone, electronically or by other means of communication.”
e Colorado Supreme Court ruled in the Board of County Commissioners of Costilla County, Colorado vs. Costilla County Conservancy District and McGowan in 2004 that a meeting is part of the policy-making process when it is held to purposefully discuss a rule, regulation, ordinance or formal action.
e ruling further states: “If the record supports the conclusion that the meeting is rationally connected to the policy-making responsibilities of the public body by holding or attending the meeting, then the meeting is subject to OML (Open Meet-

When asked if the commissioners knew they all would be going to the closed-door event, Frizell said that she doesn’t believe they knew.
“I certainly didn’t know that they were all going,” Frizell said.
e Department of Local Affairs also states public notice is required for meetings that will involve a majority or quorum of the body in attendance at least 24 hours prior. e Parker Conservatives meeting was not posted to the county website until a few hours before the meeting.
“As soon as we found out all three of them were going to be in the same place at the same time, we posted it immediately, which I believe was after the 24 hours,” Frizell said.
Frizell said that she has not heard from the commissioners about whether they believe there should be a change to the Open Meetings Law to allow the exclusion of the public and press from meetings. She also said she does not know of other closed-door invitations that are currently active.
When asked why the commissioners decided to go to this meeting, Commissioner Kevin Van Winkle said that he and the other commissioners are dedicated to fostering meaningful engagement with the community and are frequently asked to speak at diverse events and gatherings in the county.
“On this occasion, the Parker Conservatives graciously invited us to join their meeting,” said Van Winkle. “We value every chance to address groups of all sizes, listen to our constituents’ perspectives and encourage residents to connect with us — whether through such invitations or at one of our upcoming town halls.”

The Typical Wood-Frame Home Which Has Dominated Subdivisions Since the 1990s May Soon Be History
Let’s say that the writing is on the wall. The kind of site-built wood-frame homes that have dominated new American subdivisions since about 1990 are getting too expensive to satisfy America’s needs in a time of severe housing shortage.
Several factors are at work which make that style of home construction soon to be obsolete.
Factor #1: Labor shortages, especially with immigrant labor being deported.
Factor #2: Wildfire vulnerability of wood-frame homes, as demonstrated in Boulder County and more recently in southern California.
just a few years ago, but is now becoming mainstream. Other builders have learned from Lennar’s experience and multiple companies have entered that space.
Factor #3: Climate change, which is spiking a demand for greater resiliency in home construction — not just from fire, but from high-wind events like tornadoes and hurricanes.
Factor #4: Higher costs, aggravated no doubt by 25% tariffs on the Canadian lumber used in most new homes.
Having followed trade publications for the home construction and related industries, I am convinced that other technologies and techniques for home construction are about to go mainstream, making today’s wood-frame, onsite building process soon to be obsolete, or at least out of favor except for super expensive custom homes.
I also believe we will see more attention paid to the siting of new homes. It’s easy enough to site a home so that it benefits from solar gain, even if it is not solar-powered. Simply having big windows to the south with a wide overhang allowing solar gain from the low sun in the winter and shade from the high sun in the summer is a no-brainer, but it seems there has been a shortage of architectural brains in current and past siting of new homes. Similarly, having fewer windows on the north side of the house is simply smart “passive house” design.
Having an enclosed rather than open foyer (what’s called an “air lock”) is common sense too, and costs very little to implement.
That’s just the beginning of the changes I expect to see in new subdivisions. Lennar has already built a 3D printed subdivision in Texas (see picture). 3D printing of homes using concrete was a novelty (which I wrote about)
A Fast Company article in January 2023 proclaimed that “3D-printed houses are the suburbs of the future.”
The pictures at right are from that article. Here’s an excerpt: “Iowa City-based Alquist 3D, which specializes in reasonably priced automated construction in rural areas, has already started building Project Virginia, in which it will create 200 3D-printed homes (all variations on craftsman designs, also framed in layered concrete and topped with gabled wood-framed roofs) around the state, starting in tiny Pulaski (population 8,691). It’s also starting a 25-home project in Malvern, Iowa and a 10-home development in Muscatine, Iowa. Alquist founder and CEO Zachary Mannheimer says the firm has about 500 total units — ranging in price from $250,000 to around $400,000 — in the pipeline in Virginia, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas.”
Nothing says “mainstream” quite like Iowa and those other states. Colorado can not be far behind. Just last month, CBS Colorado (Channel 4 News) reported on a $638,000 grant under Colorado’s Innovative Housing Incentive Program to a Salida company, Verotouch, following the completion of their two 1,100-square-foot 3D-printed homes in Buena Vista.
“We are proud to accelerate innovation in housing to better address Colorado's housing needs,” Gov. Jared Polis said. “The unveiling of the first 3D-printed homes in the state is a great example of our state’s efforts to support new construction methods and create more housing now.”
The layered concrete walls of 3D-printed homes are naturally fire resistant. They are typically one-story homes with a standard peaked roof made from wood trusses, as you can see in the picture above. The front three homes in that picture show a 3-D home at different stages of completion. A gantry straddling the foundation transports the tube which lays down layer upon layer of concrete slurry following a computer program.

In past columns, I have written about a local company, Colorado Earth, which has pioneered construction of homes using compressed-earth bricks called EcoBlox. That’s more labor intensive, since the walls have to be laid by workers, but homes share the same benefits of being fire and weather resilient.
New technology abounds in the other components that go into home construction. For example, in June 2023 I wrote about a company, Plantd, in North Carolina, which has developed an alternative to OSB, the wall sheeting and roof decking used in virtually all home construction, made from a fast-growing perennial grass, grown locally on former tobacco plantations, saving 17 trees per house
and sequestering 8 tons of carbon dioxide per house. See www.PlantdMaterials.com
A Fast Company article in October 2024 reported that homebuilder D.R. Horton had ordered 10 million of Plantd’s panels, enough to build 90,000 homes.
The innovation taking place in every other component of home construction — doors, windows, manufactured housing, appliances, and more — is stunning to behold, confirming for me that a major revolution in the home construction industry is already unfolding. Be sure that I’ll continue to write about it here!
I have posted links for everything mentioned in this article on our company blog at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com
Does Your Older Home Have a Federal Pacific Electrical Panel?
An estimated 28 million American homes built in the 1950s through the 1980s, including many in Colorado, have an electrical panel manufactured by Federal Pacific Electric, which lost its UL certification decades ago because of multiple failures of its Stab-Lok breakers to trip when overloaded, thereby causing a fire hazard.
Our friends at Alpine Building Performance, LLC, shared these additional issues with the FPE panels:
The breakers often don’t connect properly to the panel’s bus bars, causing arcing, overheating, and potential fire hazards.
Some Stab-Lok breakers get stuck in the “on” position, even when manually switched off, making it impossible to cut power.
Reports suggest that FPE manipulated UL testing results, leading to unsafe products being approved for use.
Studies indicate that homes with FPE panels have a significantly higher likelihood of electrical fires compared to other panels. For these reasons, any home inspector hired by a buyer can be expected to recommend that replacement be demanded of the seller.
Charities Which Used Our Free Box Truck Miss It.
So, We’ve Launched a GoFundMe Campaign to Bring It Back.
Back in February, I announced that our truck needed a new engine and other repairs and that we decided to retire it instead. This was a big loss to such non-profits as the Wounded Warrior Project, Family Promise, BGoldN, Christian Action Guild, Buffalo Bill Days, and the International Rescue Committee, among others, which used the truck more often than our clients!
The truck is off the road but still available to be repaired — or replaced, if we raise enough money. If you’d like to contribute, visit www.BringItBack.info. Thanks!

Microtransit service to launch in Highlands Ranch
Commissioners hope to expand service throughout county
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
A new and inexpensive way for people to travel around Highlands Ranch will launch later this spring.
Aiming to build on the success of Lone Tree’s Link on Demand service, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners approved a $2.9 million contract with Via Transportation Inc., for microtransit services in Highlands Ranch.
“When it’s too far to walk and it’s really not far enough to drive their own vehicles, I think this is the way forward,” said Commissioner George Teal.
In Highlands Ranch, Via, which is the service provider of microtransit in Lone Tree, plans to have up to 15 vehicles available each day during peak hours, including ADA accessible vehicles. ere will also be a call center for multilingual customer service.
a rideshare and go throughout the county safely,” Laydon said.
As the county anticipates 2,200 to 2,400 rides per week, the proposed operating hours mirror Lone Tree. Hours would be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through ursday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays.
“Via will provide microtransit service throughout all of Highlands Ranch with points into and out of Lone Tree,” said Ryan Author, Douglas County community programs coordinator.
For example, connections can be made to commercial areas along Highlands Ranch Parkway, County Line Road and the Park Meadows Retail Resort. e rides can also connect people to parks, recreation centers, local hospitals, medical centers, RTD bus stations, and the County Line and Littleton/Mineral light rail stations.
County Commissioner Abe Laydon added that it’s also a safety solution.
“It’s a safe ride for people that may not be in a condition to drive, (it’s) for them to be able to get into
To use the service, Highlands Ranch residents can download the Link on Demand mobile app and when the service is launched, they can use the app to book a ride.
A decade of service in Lone Tree
Last fall, elected o cials from Douglas County attended the 10th anniversary celebration of Link on Demand in Lone Tree, and they learned more about its services and community impact.
Lone Tree’s Link on Demand started out as a shuttle service to connect riders to and from the County Line and Lincoln light rail stations. But over the years, it grew into a free, on-demand service that utilizes four full-time vehicles, and one backup vehicle during peak hours, to transport people throughout the city.
From 2023 to 2024, the ridership increased by 77%, according to the city, and in August 2024 alone, there were more than 6,000 rides.
e city also heard from riders who said that the service saves
them money, and because of having the service available to them, they tend to travel around the city more.
What the county is hearing
Knowing that many residents across Douglas County utilize rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, and other transportation methods like bikes and RTD, the county has been conducting an integrated transit and multimodal study.
e Denver Regional Council of Governments gave $2.5 million to Douglas County for the study and pilot programs, and the commissioners previously budgeted $3 million in the Capital Improvement Plan funds for these types of services in the county.
rough various focus groups with people who represented a diverse population, the county learned that common priorities include the desire for free or low cost transit, frequency, connectivity and ease of use.
e ongoing study has found so far that about 67% of daily trips made in the county occur within the county, while approximately
33% extend beyond the county. is led the county to believe that local transit could assist commuters, and potentially alleviate local tra c.
Additionally, when looking at how people commute to and from work, about 6% use public transit or carpool and nearly 67% drive alone.
“One thing we know for sure is that the citizens of our community are not getting the return on investment for RTD dollars,” said Laydon. “People are not riding the bus, people really do not ride the light rail.”
While there are multiple hourly bus stops throughout Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree, as well as light rail stations, the commissioners believe that a microtransit service would be more expansive and would be more readily available for residents.
ey also hope to expand the service to communities such as Castle Rock and Parker.
“I think the hope might be to expand this service, if it’s successful, to those municipalities if they have interest and some willingness to partner,” said Laydon.
DRCOG updates Dougco on regional transportation plan
First update since 2021 is underway
BY FRANK DEANGELI
SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
e Douglas County Transportation Steering Committee on April 2 heard an update from the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) on its 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. is year marks the plan’s rst update since its adoption in 2021. e plan was established as
the region’s long-term vision to “improve mobility for users of its multimodal transportation system.” e plan “identi es speci c project and program investments meant to address the region’s transportation planning priorities.”
e April 2 update primarily involved revisions to the Regional Roadway System, the network of roads to which DRCOG’s plan will apply. Several stretches of freeways, tollways, major regional arterials and principal arterials across the Denver metropolitan area have been proposed as ad-
ditions to the network. DRCOG’s hope is that a comprehensive regional roadway system will allow the council to best allocate limited funds to its “most heavily traveled and important connecting roadways.”
DRCOG’s update comes amidst Douglas County’s planning process for a 2050 Transportation Plan of its own. In March, the county held four public meetings to gather input on residents’ transportation needs. An online public survey was available on the county’s website through March 31. e end of its public comment
period signals the beginning of the county’s evaluation phase, during which potential transportation actions and alternatives will be reviewed and considered. Spokespeople for DRCOG assured the Douglas County Transportation Steering Committee that even if the two entities’ transportation plans are not perfectly synchronized at present, changes to the Regional Roadway System and the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan can still be made every four years based on feedback from DRCOG’s member governments.

I agree with the authors of the letters “Trump is a disaster,” “Remember Enola Gay,” “Library board disappointment” and “Disappointed by Van Winkle,” and I would like to address the people who voted for Trump and Musk (unknowingly):
Now that your candidate won the election, will you be willing to examine and research the e ects this government is having on our citizens and our country?
According to established and respected economists, tari s will increase the prices Americans will pay for many products, including cars; and contribute to a possible recession. By placing tari s on countries who have been our staunch allies, their trust and support of the US will be greatly diminished.
Now that the “mass deportation” is underway, ICE is obliged to meet quotas that Trump has established.
Violent criminals have been removed (good thing), but many hard-working, reliable employees without criminal records are being deported. ese workers have been paying into Social Security with little chance of ever collecting it. What do you think this loss of workers, especially on our farms, will have on our economy, which is already su ering?
Do you really approve of the way DOGE is ring essential workers in the National Forests, FBI, CIA, DOJ, CDC, NOAA who have had extensive training to do their jobs? What are the repercussions of those losses? I agree that there probably is some fraud and waste, but a wise person would investigate to nd the source of the problems and proceed from there.
President Zelenskyy has continuously expressed his appreciation for the help the US has given him. Look up his speeches to the Congress and UN. To say otherwise is a lie. Putin invaded his country and has not stopped attacking innocent citizens in their homes, schools, hospitals, o ces, etc. Not supporting Ukraine will result in Putin continuing to attack Russia’s neighbors and our allies. Allies that no longer trust the US because of Trump.

I am writing concerning the home rule vote that the board of county commissioners has scheduled for June 24, 2025 and the 21 home rule committee members that have been released to oversee the home rule charter. My overall concern is the speed and lack of transparency that Commissioners Teal, Laydon and Van Winkle have used in deciding to hold a special election and form this committee comprised of all very right wing GOP members. In a county where the majority of the voters are una liated and some are Democrats, I believe a more equitable way to form the committee would have the membership be proportional to the percentage of each party’s registered members. As to the timing, I do not understand why this is being rushed through without at least one meeting in each district to let us know this is being considered and then have a question and answer period. In addition, this rushed vote will cost the taxpayers $500,000 because it is a special election.
When you can no longer have access to clinical trials to try new methods and medicines to save your life, it is because this government has
I am also of the mind that home rule in this instance is being sought for reasons that are not to help Douglas County or the citizens, but rather to try to circumvent various state laws. As Mr. Teal said in a text message that has been posted on various platforms, he does not believe Dougco would have to follow any of the laws passed by the Colorado state legislature last term. I don’t believe he is correct. As recently as last month Weld County lost a home rule court case and had to follow state redistricting laws. All court cases come at a cost to taxpayers.
My nal concern is that several of the people on the 21-member committee have state, county and local level jobs where they have sworn to uphold all laws. I am particularly concerned about Rep Max Brooks, DA George Brauchler, Sheri Weekly and Parker Town Council member Laura Hefta. ese people have all taken oaths to uphold the law and are

now on a committee being formed to ultimately opt out of state laws. I see this as a con ict of interest for all involved. If the commissioners are truly working in our best interest, they would slow this process down and get the proper amount of public input, form a balanced committee, save taxpayer money and hold election on an already scheduled election date and not tell constituents that they can opt out of all state laws. I believe a no vote on home rule on June 24, 2025 is in the interest of Dougco.

The DOGE assault continues
As the DOGE-in icted chaos continues to dominate activities in Washington, none is more egregious than the one on Social Security; not surprising, since Elon Musk called SSA a Ponzi scheme. After promising not to touch it, the Trump administration has found a way. As a retired software developer who has managed teams that have had to revamp systems from antiquated to more modern, ecient software architectures, I have some sympathy for the young Turks who looked at the millions of lines of COBOL, gasped, and concluded they could do much better. ( ey are going to rewrite the entire system in six months; good luck.). But it is the way they responded to that horror that is deplorable. e rst thing they did was to allege massive fraud. en Donald Trump reiterated this claim and focused on it for almost 10 minutes of his address to the joint session of Congress. is has been proven patently false. Fraudulent claims represent less than 0.05% of the annual SSA disbursement.
en they focused on e ciency. So far, they have identi ed $800 million in savings for scal 2025, the majority of which came from a hiring freeze and “drastically” cutting back on overtime, saving about $550 million. ( is represents only 2.8% of the operating budget of the SSA); not enough, so then came the proposed cuts of 7,000 employees.
So, what does that mean? When there is already long call wait times and long lines at service centers, it means cuts to the services that many seniors rely on, especially those that are not tech savvy, at the administration does not care about these seniors was further evidenced the comments by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick regarding his mother-in-law missing a Social Security check.
While everyone acknowledges that SSA funding reform is a necessity and there have been serious proposals put forth, Congress has refused to act and the current administration’s focus on fraud and waste is a distraction from what is really required for a long-term x. But it is not

Boebert’s imaginary bogeymen
Congresswoman Boebert seems to have an obsession with bogeymen. First it was responsible gun control laws (no one was ever coming for your guns, but those laws were designed to protect citizens, prioritizing children). en it was “woke-ness,” whatever that is — I’ve still not heard anyone ably de ne the word in the context in which it’s being commonly used, but some people have misappropriated it from its original meaning, and repeat it fearfully and frequently. If it means educated, evolved, attentive, aware and/or enlightened — scary stu . Now, per her publicly funded website, she’s saving us all from the gray wolf, of which there are none in the 4th District. Does the congresswoman actually do anything for the 4th District, other than spend our tax dollars, berate those with whom she has an opposing view, and attempt to convince us all she’s protecting us from imaginary monsters? Wanna talk about wasteful bureaucracy?

What are commissioners hiding?
Recently, I became aware of a private meeting by the Parker Conservatives where the topic of the Home Rule proposal was being discussed. ALL THREE Douglas County commissioners were invited to speak. Not 1, not 2, but all 3 commissioners. is meeting is a “private event exclusively reserved for members, a liates and guests of the conservative community. We maintain a closed-door policy to ensure a focused and condential environment for our discussions. Media representatives are expressly not invited ...”
And these meetings take place in a private venue.
I don’t begrudge a private meeting by any group. at is their prerogative. But when ALL THREE commissioners are attending a private event, it sure tells me that what they are telling a group about the Home Rule proposal is not good for the county.
And what about Open Meeting laws? is is a clear violation of that. “Section 24-6-402(2)(b). e Open Meetings Law de nes a “meeting” as “any kind of gathering, convened to discuss public business, in person, by telephone, electronically, or by other means of communication.” Section 24-6-402(1)(b).”
I just have to wonder what the commissioners are hiding when they hold private meetings to discuss a proposal with a signi cant impact and expense to those of us who live here?
Be available to all constituents through public meetings, and be accountable for what you want to do.

OBITUARIES
August 19, 1990 October 22, 2024
Sarah Danser, 34 years old and a resident of Honolulu, Hawaii, passed away following an automobile accident in which she was riding as a passenger. Born in Denver to Dan Danser and Ellen Cates, she grew up in Castle Rock, Colorado and attended Academy Charter School and Douglas County High School before receiving a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado. During college she volunteered as a dental assistant in Guatemala and immediately after graduating taught biology in a private school in Cameroon, Africa.
Sarah spent her youth in Colorado, far from the sea, where she climbed 14ers, hiked the Colorado Trail, skied, snowboarded and engaged in other outdoor activities, but nonetheless became an accomplished SCUBA diver and developed an abiding love of the ocean.
She moved to Hawaii in 2014 and worked initially as a divemaster. She then bought a live-aboard sailboat and learned to sail. Her passion for boating led her to earn her Master Captain’s License and thereafter lead large whale-watching, deep sea shing and SCUBA diving excursions out of Honolulu. On her last major voyage, in the summer of 2024, she served aboard a commercial vessel in Alaska. In her journal, she wrote that if she had a business card that allowed only one word, that word would be “Adventurer.”
and Afraid and Fight to Survive. As a result of those TV appearances her name and image remain widespread on the internet and streaming services.
Sarah was smart, competent and creative. She did serious mechanical work on both her 4X4 and her sailboat, drew portraits, birthday cards and countless pictures for friends, acted, learned two foreign languages and began writing about her life and adventures. Her positive energy and unebbing spirit earned her friends and colleagues around the world. She was curious and ercely independent, but most of all she helped those around her to nd joy and live their best lives. rough times of doubt and hardship Sarah always found a way both to achieve her own goals and to inspire others.
Although her life was sadly cut short, Sarah lived it to the fullest.

In March 2020, Christian churches across the Denver area shut their doors during the initial COVID-19 shutdowns. Many hoped the doors would be reopened for Easter in April.
But they weren’t.
Instead, local Christians watched their churches’ Easter celebrations online while their pastors preached and their musicians played for empty churches.
e Very Rev. Richard Lawson of St. John’s Cathedral — the Episcopal cathedral in central Denver — recalled that Easter, saying, “ ere were less than ve people in the entire cathedral, and two of them were priests.”
Meanwhile, some smaller congregations like the United Church of Idaho Springs held its Easter service via video conference, where everyone logged in to worship together.
Five years later, local church leaders expected this Easter would look more normal. But even then, they couched it as “the new normal,” outlining how much their churches have changed in terms of technology, membership, ministry and more in the last ve years.
In March 2025, Colorado Community Media spoke with Christians leading six churches across ve denominations and four counties in the Denver area. While experiences varied, they all said their congregations have changed permanently
since March 2020.
“It has been a really hard journey,” said Rev. Susan Otey of the First United Methodist Church of Golden. “Pastoring during COVID was some of the hardest work I have ever done … I could see that God was working to make something good out of a terrible situation.”
Disciples in the digital age
Across the board, leaders from the six churches said technology was far and away the biggest change.
Before, none of them o ered online options for Sunday services; now, all of them either livestream or allow people to join via video conference.
In general, they said it’s a great help, as church members can now join when they are homebound, sick or traveling. e United Church of Idaho Springs has a member who moved to Minnesota but still joins remotely, and some churches said they also livestream funerals so loved ones can watch from anywhere.
Figuring out how to livestream services in spring 2020 was rough going, as churches had to get creative with the limited resources they had.
For instance, the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton started by taping an iPad to a tripod. Now, the church has a dedicated camera in the sanctuary, and Church Council Chair Neena Hagans monitors the livestream from the choir loft.
Otey said the pandemic pushed her congregation
to invest in the technology necessary to livestream services, which might not have happened until 2030 otherwise.
“COVID taught us that virtual services are essential in this day and age,” she continued. “( e pandemic) pushed us several years into the future.”
Along with Sunday services, technology is now a key aspect in other parts of church life, from online giving to hybrid Bible studies, church leaders said.
Daren Forbes, who’s on the Arvada Stake communications council for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said there is “an abundance of podcasts” that he and his fellow church members use to help them study scripture, church history and similar topics.
In fact, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has its own app with all its holy texts, the given year’s curriculum, videos and other resources “to augment study in the home,” he described.
Forbes and other Christians throughout Denver clari ed how these technologies don’t replace inperson services or fellowship opportunities. ey are simply another option.
Lawson believes that, especially after the pandemic, “people are hungry for community,” whether that’s in-person or online.
“Livestreaming has expanded our reach beyond what we ever could’ve imagined,” Lawson said. “It’s too bad it took COVID to teach us that.”

CHURCHES
Parishioners in the pews
In general, the number of Coloradans identifying as Christian has declined, mirroring a national trend, according to Colorado Public Radio; and the Associated Press has reported how Protestant denominations’ national membership has been declining for years.
Regarding their own ocks, leaders from the six churches had mixed experiences.
Otey and Lawson said their congregations in Golden and Denver, respectively, have actually grown over the last ve years, especially if one includes online attendance. eir biggest demographic changes have been with young families and young adults, respectively.
Otey believed it was because people are seeking out a community that shares their values and beliefs, with the idea of raising their children in it, too. She summarized those parents’ experiences as: “I want to teach my kids about loving and serving our neighbors.”
Meanwhile, Forbes said the Arvada Stake’s overall membership hasn’t changed signi cantly, but there have been a few demographic shifts over the last ve years.
As western Arvada has grown, so has church membership in that area. Members from western Arvada tend to be young families, while eastern Arvada is more older people who’ve lived in the area for decades, Forbes described.
Additionally, he said the Arvada Stake has seen signi cant growth among its Spanish-speaking population.
Contrastingly, membership at the United Church of Idaho Springs and the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton have declined slightly.
Vivian Simpson, chair of the church council, said the United Church of Idaho Springs was averaging about 30 people at Sunday services before the pandemic. Now, it’s about 20 people in-person with another ve online.
Fort Lupton church leaders said their congregation averaged 80 to 100 people on Sundays before the pandemic. Now, it’s down to about 60 in the pews, with some joining online.
For the First Baptist Church of Denver, while its attendance and overall membership haven’t changed much, its space utilization has.
Kurt Kaufman, a member of the pastoral team, said the church used to have a high demand for facility rentals and parking-space leases before the pandemic. Now, demand for both has gone down signi cantly, impacting the church’s budget.
“We haven’t had a parking waitlist since 2019,” Kaufman said. “We’ve had to rethink what we do to make money and how to survive as a congregation.”
Pastors in the pulpit
Both the First Baptist Church of Denver and the United Church of Idaho Springs said their previous pastors left within the last ve years, and they’ve struggled to nd replacements.
Kaufman said he and fellow members of the First Baptist Church’s pastoral team are rotating responsibilities, including preaching on Sundays.
Similarly, Simpson said the Idaho Springs church has been looking for a part-time pastor since its former pastor retired in 2021.
Because it’s a combined Methodist and Presbyterian congregation, Simpson said the church has looked through Methodist, Presbyterian and unafliated channels. It’s had some interest, but nothing that worked out long-term, she described.
“Nationwide, there’s a shortage of ordained ministers for Methodist and Presbyterian (churches),” she said.
Simpson added that the Idaho Springs church can only a ord a part-time pastor, which makes the search more di cult.
In a similar vein, the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton has had a dedicated pastor in the Rev. Anna Viehland since 2022, but she splits her time between Fort Lupton and another Methodist church in Erie.
On March 29, St. John’s Cathedral ordained four
people as deacons. ey’re now scheduled to be ordained as priests in October.
Lawson said four ordained ministers in a year is about average for the Episcopal Church’s Diocese of Colorado.
However, with the in ux of young adults at the cathedral, Lawson said he’s seen increasing interest in ordination among his congregation. In 2025, St. John’s Cathedral will have ve members attend seminary, including one of the newly ordained, he said.
Charity in the community
In terms of ministry — both for their members and for the wider community — there were some common threads among the six churches.
Along with a greater push for online or hybrid events, church leaders said they’ve seen more demand for small-group events, such as Bible studies, parent groups and in-home ministering.
On top of their continued interfaith partnerships, the two Denver churches said they’ve seen more demand for social justice-focused events and groups.
In addition to its Faith in Action ministry, Lawson said St. John’s Cathedral now has the Re-Imagining Justice group that focuses on racial healing, and the Migrant Interest Group that does pro-immigration work.
Kaufman said the First Baptist Church is now “more attuned to hunger and social justice issues around our community” than it was pre-pandemic.
Part of that is because of its new outdoor community fridge, which has already distributed about 30,000 pounds of food since February 2023.
Additionally, because its parking lot isn’t as full as it once was, Kaufman said the church has been able to host a shower trailer and a safe parking program.
e other four churches said they’ve likewise seen increased demand among their safe parking programs, free weekly meals and similar ministries; and they’ve worked to meet that demand alongside other churches and nonpro ts.
“Some things that started during COVID really de ned who we are as a church,” Otey said. “We increased our services tremendously.”
During the COVID-19 shutdowns, Otey described how her church worked with the larger Golden community to distribute free food to the homebound and unsheltered — even distributing food outside when indoor gatherings were restricted.
And that work has continued to the present day, she said, as the church has expanded from free meals once a week to three times a week.
Forbes encouraged people to visit justserve.org to nd service opportunities near them. ese events are open to anyone, not just Christians, he emphasized, saying it could be anything from painting a
house to working at a local food bank.
“It’s become even more apparent how important those service opportunities are because of COVID and what we’re experiencing in society,” Forbes said. “We have more in common with our neighbors than we think … (and) when we have an opportunity to serve one another, those di erences dissipate.”
‘Best of all, God is with us’
Another common thread among the six churches was how di cult the last ve years have been, in one form or another.
Church leaders discussed loneliness among their members, concern about the declining number of Christians locally and nationally, and burnout among their volunteers and ordained ministers.
Viehland, Fort Lupton’s pastor, described how she’s seen not only laypeople but also clergy struggle with the pandemic’s immediate and long-term fallout.
She believed some clergy members — not necessarily local ones — were already burnt-out, and the pandemic was a deciding factor in them leaving ordained ministry. And Viehland said she didn’t blame them.
“Five years out, we’re just starting to reckon with the spiritual and emotional trauma that came from (the pandemic),” Viehland said.
Kaufman said the First Baptist Church was full of hope and joy when he joined in 2019. Now, he said it’s been “a struggle to nd joy with anything” and that the congregation has shifted to one that’s “less hopeful and more fearful.”
Still, leaders from all six churches o ered messages of hope and faith, especially with Easter approaching.
“It’s been very challenging to nd hope in earthly, worldly things,” Kaufman said. “‘Where is it that I nd hope?’ e only place is in my faith.”
Similarly, Fort Lupton church leaders summarized the experience of faith by quoting Methodist Church founder John Wesley: “Best of all, God is with us.”
Kaufman, Forbes and Simpson invited fellow Christians to celebrate Easter by deepening their relationships with God and with one another. ey also encouraged those “who are searching for something” to visit a local church and ground themselves in a loving God and a welcoming community.
Otey also emphasized how God’s love is unconditional and how the Holy Spirit is at work in everyone’s lives, community and shared world, even if they don’t know it.
Re ecting on the changes of the last ve years, and all the changes that are to come, Lawson said: “God is as real as God has ever been.”
Morning light shines through a stained-glass window of a cross and crown March 25 at the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton. Church leaders and others across the Denver area said their churches have changed permanently since March 2020, particularly with regard to technology.
