Pastoral Leadership
THE REV. STEPHEN F. ZIMMERMAN, RECTOR
The Rev. Stephen Zimmerman was received as the priest-in-charge of Grace and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in November 2009. As priest-in-charge Fr. Steve leads the parish as pastor, priest and teacher, sharing in the councils of Grace and St. Stephen’s and of the whole church, in communion with the Bishop of the Diocese of Colorado. By word and action, informed at all times by the Holy Scriptures, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church, Fr. Steve is called to proclaim the Gospel, to love, serve and nourish Christ’s people, and to strengthen them to glorify God in this life and in the life to come.
Fr. Steve was called to his new ministry at Grace and St. Stephen’s from his native state of Florida where he served as the rector of The Chapel of St. Andrew, Boca Raton from 1986 to 2009. Prior to that he had served as the rector of All Saints, Grenada, Mississippi (1981-1986) and as an associate priest at St. Marks, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida (1978-1981). Fr. Steve’s ministry in congregational development, Christian education and new member ministry prior to accepting the call to Grace and St. Stephen’s rewarded him with many opportunities to develop and participate in diocesan, national and international workshops and conferences.
