WE WILL always love. WE WILL SACRIFICE FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS.
WE WILL BE BOLD IN WORDS AND ACTIONS. WE WILL HONOR GOD AND EACH
OTHER. WE WILL CONFRONT THE 'HOLY MESS' OF LIFE. WE WILL DEMONSTRATE
OUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST.
Nathan Bartels
Executive Director
Nathan is the resident go-to-man. He kicks butt while
taking down names. He leads, pastors, shreds, leads worship better than most can dream of.
Sarah Bartels
Director of Operations
Sarah makes sure that the day to day options are getting done. Organization may actually be her middle name. And she is Nathan's wife. They rule.
Amber Kuligowski
Office Manager
Amber is Sk8 Church's Office Manager. She makes everyone at Sk8 Church's day a little bit brighter. Amber helps to oversee all of Sk8 Church's needs. Sk8 Church is actually where the phrase "the Amber-of-all-trades" started.
Trevor “Apple” Mekelburg
Middle School Director
Apple leads our middle schoolers better than everyone else, and their mom. Not only does Apple lead our middle school program, he also shreds like none other. He is also nicknamed after the world's most popular fruit*. He also knows everyone in Steamboat Springs, and I am fairly certain that they are close friends.
*Not 100% sure this is correct.
Jared Bennet
Programs Supervisor
Jared moved from Chicago to Steamboat Springs in 2015 to attend school at Colorado Mountain College. Upon finishing with a B.A. in Sustainability Studies, he started as Programs Supervisor at Sk8 Church in February of 2019. He currently manages the After School Program, creates new programs and extends the outreach of existing ones.
We also have an incredible board that helps make the big-picture of Sk8 Church a reality.
They provide accountability, support, and insight to many various aspects of the day-to-day,
month-to-month, and year-to-year items. Our board is comprised of strong leaders in our local community. If you see Sara Cobb, Kona Ward, and Danny Tebbenkamp around town (or at Sk8 Church) give them a hug or a high-five, and thank them for all that they do for Sk8 Church.
