LEAD PASTOR

MICHAEL GOLDSTEIN

Michael grew up in the Chicagoland area and studied Film & Digital Media at Baylor University before earning an MDiv  from Denver Seminary. During a college summer spent working as a camp counselor in Estes Park, Colorado, he was introduced to two lasting loves: a Denver native named Jillian—and the state of Colorado itself. In 2012, Michael moved to Denver, where he began to feel an unshakable call to proclaim the good news of Jesus and help connect isolated sinners and sufferers to the family of God.

Michael and Jillian were married in 2014 and now have two daughters, a son, and regularly open their home to foster children throughout the city. Outside of his pastoral work, Michael enjoys mountain biking, skiing, films, afternoon cortados, Cormac McCarthy novels, and is a long-suffering Chicago sports (and Nuggets) fan. 

DISCIPLESHIP PASTOR

WILL BLUNDELL

Will is originally from England and is married to Anna, a Boston native. He began following Jesus at age 17 after his family joined a local church plant. While studying at the University of York, Will got involved in college ministry, where his desire to pursue vocational ministry took root.

After graduation, he joined a church plant in London as a core team member. It was there he met Oliver, a Colorado native and fellow craft beer enthusiast, who later introduced him to Michael Goldstein. That connection eventually led Will to Denver Seminary and to Fellowship Denver Church, where he served as an intern for two years.

Following seminary, Will served as Associate Pastor at Redemption Parker. During that time, the leadership team affirmed his call to help plant a new church. Today, he co-pastors Fellow Citizens alongside Michael.

Will loves traveling, watching sports, music, exercise, and hiking Colorado’s trails with his wife. They’re excited to see a new gospel-centered community grow in Denver and would love to connect with anyone interested in hearing more.
