We were founded in March, 1986 when Bob Howe, Director of Rocky Mountain Conservative Baptist Association and Pastor Ed Niswender were led to start a new church in Fort Collins. While meeting in a couple temporary locations, the church voted to purchase property at Shields and Horsetooth in October, 1987. The first service in the new building was held in 1992. Pastor Ed Niswender resigned to pursue a ministry in Oregon in 2000. Pastor John Lloyd led the people of Mountain Range Church until 2004, when he felt called to another ministry. Pastor Dan Iles was called to lead our congregation following Pastor Lloyd until October, 2009. We are sorry to see Dan and Linda go, but know the Lord has plans for them and are excited to learn what He has planned for this ministry.
Our Elders and Deacons are working in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Church Network to guide us through the transition process and search for our next Pastor.
