OUR MISSION
We exist to help people discover Jesus and follow Him fearlessly.
OUR MARKS
RAW: Jesus has freed us from the pressure to perform, so we walk in transparency and vulnerability.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 in the NLT, “So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
Passionate: Jesus proved that we were worth it all, so we live like he is worth it all.
Matthew 13:44 NLT says, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.”
Clear: Jesus fiercely loves those who don’t know him, so we make following him easy to understand.
Acts 15:19 says, “And so my judgment is that we should not make it difficult for those who are turning to God.”
We are an inclusive family.
Whether you’re new to church or been around for a long time, we consider you family. Our church is an incredibly inclusive and loving family with a rich history, full of diverse backgrounds, and a deep love for Colorado Springs. Some of us have been following Jesus for years, and others are still exploring and considering faith. No matter where you are on your faith journey, you belong here.

Petie Kinder
LEAD PASTOR
My name is Petie Kinder and I’m honored to serve as the Lead Pastor of Peak City Church. I’m married to my high school sweetheart Brittany, and together we have three young children: Emmitt, Solomon, and Taytum. We are originally from Lexington, Kentucky and have served at churches in Seattle and Indianapolis prior to our time at Peak City. I have a BA in Biblical Studies from Cincinnati Christian University and a MA in Religious Studies from Liberty University. I didn’t grow up in church, so if you’re new to the whole church thing… I get it! At the age of 17 my life changed forever when I started attending a church that was focused on helping people like me understand who Jesus really is and what he is really all about. That’s when I made the decision to start following Jesus and nothing has been the same since. We are passionate about helping other people understand God’s incredible love for them and the amazing purpose that Jesus gives us. I love basketball (both NBA and college), UFC, hip-hop and old school country music, and spending time with my friends and family. We’re excited to be part of all that God is doing in Colorado Springs!
