the shared stories project
The Shared Stories Project is an opportunity to experience the power and beauty of sharing stories, to have honest and open conversations and to learn the circumstances and events that shape lives.
The project began in 2020, in the wake of the death of George Floyd in police custody and a string of other Black Americans' death at the hands of police. Then Lead Pastor Brett Opalinski began the project to allow friends and members of Christ Church to tell their stories.
Sharing stories is a spiritual practice, a way to make room for the Holy Spirit to move and help us grow.
Little did we know that this interview project would introduce Christ Church to its future lead pastor, Nathan Adams, who was then pastor at P)ark Hill United Methodist in Denver.
Other speakers include Rob and Mark Angle, members of Christ Church; Jason Campbell, praise worship leader of Christ Church; and Mirhonda Studevant, lay leader of Christ Church.
We invite you to listen to these powerful voices.
