New Season

A NEW SEASON FOR PIKES PEAK CHRISTIAN CHURCH

SENIOR PASTOR SEARCH UPDATES

Pikes Peak Christian Church is entering a new season in our beautiful story, beginning in 1956. Our current senior Pastor, Darrin Ronde, will be retiring from his role after 28 years of service. Pastor Darrin and Julie's last day at Pikes Peak Christian Church is April 30th, 2023.

We always knew PPCC was special, but there have been less than 5 lead pastors in the last 6 decades--that's pretty incredible!

Below you will find information on our journey in this process and updates as they become available.
