Below are the priests and pastors who have blessed us with their service over the years.  We're grateful for their preaching and teaching, leading us through growth and change, moving us forward into celebratory times, missionary outreach, challenging us to do new things, and showing us that our vision of being one church and one family is a reality for our faith community in the desert.  God has blessed them, as they have blessed us.
