Pastor Glenn
Gilpin – Preaching/Teaching Pastor
Our Preaching Pastor, Glenn Gilpin,
was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming
and has spent most his life in the Rocky Mountain
region. He was raised in a Christ-centered and Bible-believing home, where
he came to know Jesus as his Savior and Lord as a child. Since that time he
has had a great love for God's Word--the Bible. His life objective is to
know God’s Word and teach its truths to others.
Pastor Glenn
attended the University
of Wyoming, receiving
a B.S. degree in Mathematics. While there he was involved with a campus
disciple-making organization where he learned more about how to walk with
God and a still-greater love for the Bible. He later attended Denver
Seminary where he was granted an MA in Systematic Theology.
Pastor Glenn
has been happily married to Cathy since 1982, and they have a daughter
Amber. He has been in full-time ministry for 15 years--a pastor for 12 of
those. Before coming to Village he served small churches in Wyoming and Southern Colorado.
He has spent time on staff with a disciple-making college student ministry
and four summers in short-term missions. In addition, he has worked as a
surveyor and mechanical draftsman.
His hobbies
outside of family and church include hiking, cross-country skiing, swimming
and biking. He is an avid bowler.
