Dear Members and Friends of St. Paul's UMC,
I am excited to share with you that Bishop Kristin Stoneking, in consultation with the Mountain Sky Cabinet and the St. Paul's UMC Staff-Pastor Relations Committee, is announcing her intention to appoint the Rev. Elizabeth Burg as your pastor beginning January 1, 2025.
Rev. Burg's most recent local church appointment was as the associate pastor at Belong Church in Denver. She also served as the pastor at Edgewater and Louisville UMCs, and as the associate pastor at Smoky Hill UMC. She is also a marketing and communications consultant, working primarily with companies owned by women and LGBTQ individuals.
Elizabeth and her wife, the Rev. Megan Burg, have three children and currently live in Westminster, where Megan serves as pastor of Westminster UMC. She is excited to be joining the St. Paul's UMC community and looks forward to spending time listening and learning about the church and its members.
You will be in my prayers as you walk through this transition time with Rev. Dr. Charles Alkula and welcome Rev. Elizabeth Burg. I am grateful for your commitment and openness about what is next for the St. Paul's UMC community.
Grace and blessing,
Rev. Jessica Rooks
Colorado Front Range District Superintendent
