He later served in lay ministry for 8 years at South Evangelical Presbyterian Church before joining the Vineyard Movement in 1984 after being baptized in the Spirit. He served many lay and official leadership roles in the Vineyard for 20 years, including planting Vineyard Denver Southeast, which has now become BridgeWay Church. While working part-time in the marketplace, Peter pursued theological training at Denver Seminary, graduating cum laud in 1995 with a Master’s Degree in Divinity.
Prior to planting BridgeWay, Peter had a 15-year banking career in commercial lending and treasury management sales, where he served as a conference speaker, sales manager, and manager of the Norwest Bank of Denver Treasury Management Division as well as Marketing Manager for Norwest Bank Minnesota.

Scott is a fifth generation pastor born and raised in the state of Colorado. His great great grandmother knew D. L. Moody personally. He graduated from the University of Colorado with a business degree. He worked in banking for 7 years, during which time he and his wife helped plant a new church. They were young adults pastors and home group leaders along with other leadership responsibilities. Scott went back to School to get a degree in Biblical Studies from Rocky Mountain Bible Institute after which he and Lynea planted a new church in which they were the founding senior pastors. This was a non denominational charismatic Church that they led for 30 years. During those years he was involved with missions in over 20 nations, and taught at YWAM bases around the United States.

potluck dinners and Dolly Parton, she is very thankful for her friendly Southern roots. Growing up in a family who had careers in the music industry it was only natural for her to join the choir at church. It was singing in the choir that she found her voice and the thing she felt like she was made for- worshiping Jesus. Because of her love of Jesus and the fact that she bears His name, it’s no wonder that Christy Joy chose to work in ministry as her career. She simply loves Jesus and loves people. After working as a church assistant for 16 years, she was offered a position at BridgeWay Church to take the next step and become a pastor which was a fulfillment of a heart’s desire. One of her favorite things about God is His creative nature and once you know her, it’s easy to see how connected she is to that part of Him. Most people see her giftings as multifaceted but Christy Joy would describe the call on her life as a Big letter W. Worship, Welcome, Women, Weddings, Wealth, and the Word are all passions that are within her.
Along with being a Pastor, a worship leader, a small business owner, Christy Joy loves being a mom of twin daughters Chloe and Emme and little dog Snowy who she loving refers to as her Poopy. God definitely knows that she loves a good story and handed Him the pen to her life years ago and shortly after moving to Denver, she met her husband Alvin on the way to the bathroom at church. They will celebrate 10 years of marriage on June 23, 2023 and she will continue to let God write the most amazing story of her life so when she tells it- ONLY He will receive the Glory for it!

I have a passion for youth and young adults to be set on fire for Jesus, for them to know who He is and who they are in Him, and for them to step into their royal identity in Christ and walk with boldness into their God-given destiny. So I am excited to serve as Youth Pastor at Bridgeway.
When I am not at church, I love to spend time with friends and family, play board games and video games, and go on adventures. Those adventures include camping, hiking, hammocking, paddle boarding, float trips, and traveling. I grew up in a Christian home all my life, but it didn’t become real until June 1st, 2019, when I officially met the Holy Spirit. It was a day that I will never forget, and it was a day that ultimately changed my life forever. I’ve been on fire for Jesus ever since, and I don’t ever expect that fire for Him to diminish or go out. He is my rock and my fortress.

In his college years he began having encounters with the Holy Spirit but being part of the evangelical tradition had little understanding of what was happening. In 1984 Jesus directed him to the Vineyard Christian Fellowship where he attended John Wimber’s Signs, Wonders, and Church Growth class. During the following years, he gained understanding of the things of the Spirit and the Kingdom of God; and began praying for healing, deliverance, and people to experience the manifest presence of God. He spent the next 30 years owning and operating a small business with the intent of seeing the Kingdom of God in the daily operations. He has attended Bridgeway since 2002, and in 2022 joined the Bridgeway staff in his current capacity. His passion is to give to others what Jesus has given to him.
(Youth With A Mission) for 5 years. Through this ministry, he has had the opportunity to visit various continents, giving him an appreciation for different cultural expressions of worship. In his capacity as Worship Arts Director, he loves creating an atmosphere for the congregation to encounter the Presence of Lord and for the worship team to blossom in their gifts of worship. His desire is to see the Lord glorified in all forms of artistic expression and for sons and daughters to arise knowing their identity in Christ as co-creators with the one, true Creator.
After graduation, she married her college sweetheart Cedric and moved to NYC where she worked as a recording engineer and played in a rock band. After moving to Denver in 2012, Stephanie was reintroduced to the familiar manifest presence of the Holy Spirit through Steffany Gretzinger leading worship at a Randy Clark conference (hosted by Bridgeway). A deep hunger for more of God and a passion for worship were reignited that night!
Stephanie is mom to a wild circus of 5 kids, ages 3-17. She now serves as Assistant Worship Director and loves to facilitate deep intimacy with the Father in worship.
