I believe in God, the Father Almighty,the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried.
The third day He arose again from the dead.He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,and He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

Our Ethos describes the community we strive to be:
Married, divorced and single here,
it’s one family that mingles here.
Conservative and liberal here,
we’ve all gotta give a little here.
Big and small here,
there’s room for us all here.
Doubt and believe here,
we all can receive here.
LGBTQ and straight here,
there’s no hate here
Non-binary, woman and man here,
everyone can here.
Whatever your race here,
for all of us grace here.
In imitation of the ridiculous love Almighty God has for each of us and all of us,
let us live and love without labels!

Rachael is a Co-Pastor at Highlands Church, which she co-planted in 2009. She is also a founding Board member of W/, a collective of faith and community leaders who are exploring and leading in theologically progressive spaces. (withcollective.org) She was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, and is – as her husband James describes – an absolute green chile snob. Rachael is a musician and leader called to curate sacred spaces in which people connect with God and can process their lived experiences in a spiritual and communal context. Rachael studied Music Performance at UNM and CU Denver, and under the tutelage of some of Denver’s finest jazz musicians. She is the very proud mom of two teenage sons, and the reluctant but thoroughly won-over owner of Mondo the Wonder Dog.
