Meet Our Leadership Team

PASTOR
Will Johnson

Pastor Will loves gardening, running, board games, and all things pirates. He grew up in western Washington State and moved to Colorado in 2018. His love of learning leads him to an eclectic variety of subjects, including economics, social-psychology, ecology, and empowering followers of Christ. Pastor Will graduated from Luther Seminary in Minnesota with a Master of Divinity Degree. After seminary, he and his wife spent a year in South Africa, Cameroon, and western Europe studying preaching and the future of the church. He then served as a pastor in Glendive, Montana, and Broomfield, Colorado, before being called to Nativity Lutheran Church in 2021.

Wade, Council Vice President

I was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My dad was a traveling union welder and was working on a job in
Cedar Rapids at the time of my birth. I spent most of my youth on a cattle ranch in Northeast
Oklahoma, which my family still owns. Attended Rogers State College majoring in Petroleum
technologies.

I moved to Colorado in 1988 to work for an Oil and Gas exploration company. In October 1989 I began
working for Matheson Postal Service. During my time with Matheson I worked my way up the
cooperate ladder to the cooperate operation manager. In 2000 Kay and I started the first of three
businesses. We were in the transportation business until 2022 when we sold all three businesses and
retired.
